thinking about jerome coming back to life just to help fight the mutiny / child killing. thinking about him saving lucien during the calling. thinking about jerome instantly helping the captain once he realized what was going on. thinking about jerome’s unyielding principles and how they do not prevent him from being compassionate.

thinking about clemence wanting to help the captain despite the risks. thinking about clemence translating for jerome. thinking about thinking about clemence finding her voice. thinking about it not being mutually exclusive to her kindness.

There's just something about the way that Olek is so class-conscious when he first encounters Ling Yi.

He frees her from the box but then backs away, giving her space and deliberately not touching her. He sees that she's shivering and offers her his jacket ("it's dirty, but it's warm"), only taking one step closer with an outstretched arm. He glances at her out of curiosity and concern, but keeps lowering his gaze because he knows (despite the strange circumstances) this is a first-class passenger and he shouldn't be making direct eye contact with her.

Something shifts, though, when he tells her his name, and suddenly they're looking at each other the way that a first-class girl and a soot-covered boy from the engine room are not supposed to look at each other.

Even though he offers her his hand as they escape off the fog-covered deck, the knowledge of the divide between them is still there when they reach the open-air compartment. ("I know it's not first class," he acknowledges.) Olek's eyes are downcast again, only for him to grow a little bolder and lift his gaze up to her face. Still, he doesn't get any closer or try to touch her, not even when he returns with food and finds her on her knees, sobbing and struggling to breathe. His eyes are wide, searching hers, as he listens to her tearful words, but it's Ling Yi who steps closer in search of comfort, clutching at him, her arms circled around his back. There's such hesitancy in the way he touches her — he's not allowed to be holding her like this, is he? — but then comes the moment when he finally gives in and wraps his arms over her shoulders, pulling her into his (dirty, but warm) embrace while she cries.

People sat we shouldn’t judge anyone by their looks. It’s impossible though, isn’t it? I’m sure that you made up your mind about me as soon as you saw me… Do I know you from somewhere? My name is Clémence? Jérôme. I have to go. You’re right. I did make up my mind about you the moment that I saw you.

ok what if the memory chamber in Daniel’s room is actually Maura’s and the chamber in Maura’s room is actually Elliot’s

something that’s making me go huh is how some people share “memories” or whatever the thing is under the floorboards. have my own theories about what’s generally going on but that is giving me some trouble. please share your ideas

u know what i luv? when they meet and clemence was being self indulgent and self absorbed, jerome calls her out without mocking her or belittling her or being sarcastic. he just goes like ok yeah. you’re right. but also remember that everyone feels how you feel. even the birds bro. doesn’t that suck. and she listens to him and actually sort of reframes how she’s thinking about being trapped and being judged. here both of them are genuinely heard by another person which is sick
