Anyways, This Is Fucking Disgusting.

Happy of the End episode 2 eng sub

Dazed and confused, Chihiro awakes on a pile of garbage with memories of wedding still fresh in his mind. When out of the blue a young man named Keito appears before him. Instantly, he then recalls the night he spent with this person. The booze! The hotel! The punch to his face! Chihiro may not have a place to call home currently and Keito may not be a good person by any means, but maybe the two of them could be happy together. (synopsis from MDL)

I hurried to sub two episodes in a row because the official subs for this episode were so bad that I felt personally offended.

I'm honestly begging people to at least check out my subs before making up their mind about this show. The official subs are riddled with glaring misinterpretations such as thinking yakuchuu (junkie) means yakuza. If I were paying just to watch this show on Gagaoolala, I'd want my money back. I kind of wish the platform had never picked this show up if they can't do it any justice.

There are too many trigger warnings for episode four of Happy of the End because Keito's entire life is one cruel tragedy after another, so it's . . . a lot.

Shelter (2007)

No thoughts, just Vegas posing Pete to fuck him the same way he posed him the first time he offered Pete tenderness.

...No wait okay I lied I have a lot of thoughts actually, because there are other parallels between these two scenes and they're quietly driving me insane:

Pete telling Vegas to set him free by letting him die vs Pete telling Vegas to set him free by binding him

Vegas leaning over Pete with a pill in his mouth vs Vegas leaning over Pete with a condom in his mouth, when the pill was a promise of change and no further harm

(I could rotate the second image 90 degrees to show the visual parallel better but hell if the tilted camera isn't tipping me right over the edge into madness, along with Vegas framed directly between Pete's arms on bottom and the chains wrapped around his ankles on top. This post isn't meant to be about framing, but asdk;lfsj;lkj)

Pete looking up at Vegas, mutinous and trying to understand his actions, vs Pete looking up at Vegas both willing and completely aware

And afterwards, Vegas settling on the floor facing opposite Pete and meeting his eyes with a chain visually splitting them apart vs settling on the bed beside Pete and meeting his eyes with nothing in between

The third and fourth episode of Happy of the End emphasized that Chihiro is no Heavenly Human.

But he is the right person to help Keito.

I mentioned during the first two episodes that Chihiro isn't as dark as Keito.

He has color.

He has light.

Keito is dangerous because all of his interactions have been transactional and violent.

So when he reacts to Chihiro chatting with his ex, he becomes colder, he becomes crueler, and he becomes darker.

But when he sees how bothered Chihiro is with this treatment, he steps back into the light.

Because that's what's special about Chihiro. He isn't all light. He isn't so pure and bright that Keito hates him or has trouble understanding him. Chihiro has darkness as well, so for him to react to Keito's actions by crying and leaving makes Keito question how awful he must be in that moment to ignite such an emotion.

Keito is still dangerous, but, once again, Chihiro is fine with Keito's darkness. It's the cruelty that hurt.

So for the third episode to end with Keito in all black after realizing Maya was stalking him was worrisome.

Because although Keito is a Black Brooder, Chihiro has a way of bringing out some color from Keito.

But Maya is a reminder of Keito's past and that's the darkest thing about him.

I had to sit with the fourth episode for a bit because it's a painful visual examination and record of Keito's descent into darkness.

The episode began with Keito leaving his bed and Chihiro behind to stare out the window and think about his past in all black.

Although circumstances would never let him be pure, completely innocent, or blindingly white, Keito, as a child, was once light.

And in an act of desperation, after weeks of starving, he made a shift.

He still had hope that his situation would improve and that he would find security, but that quickly evaporated.

And he remained dark.

Because his life doesn't allow for hope to exist.

So a dark teenager turned into a dark adult.

And even when Keito escaped that abusive life,

He was still completely dark.

But the fourth episode ended by reminding us that Chihiro moves Keito to the light and brings out long-buried color from Keito.

So even at the every end, when it appears Keito will desert hope and embrace his darkness as he is faced with another one of life's cruelties,

And even when he begs for his suffering to end next week at his darkest moment yet,

He will wear a color, he will sit in the brightness,

And he will embrace the light.

But it'll take someone who isn't afraid of the dark to help him.
