THERAPIST KNOWING ABOUT THEM IS SO FUNNY TO ME
Thank u. I will go to sleep thinking about this (in a good way). I absolutely love theories about things, and especially he tian and mo’s way of being intimate… it is very liminal but it’s there: brushing hands, keeping memories, searching for each other, allowing themselves to sleep together (which requires a lot of trust)
this chapter clearly occurs after the christmas specials before he tian has fully returned and when mo is in his old apartment. so it is to be assumed he tian sees mo when he can. i can see mo not being as indifferent to his presence the first time he tian returned after those 4/5 years - he was most likely indescribably angry and hurt. mo probably hates he tian for walking back into his life and leaving again even if it is not permanently. so he refuses to trust him again knowing he tian wont stay. but his true feelings are revealed when he is drunk he becomes affectionate - because deep down he wants to be. he is unable to cope with the love he feels for he tian so he attempts to push it out of his mind or hide physical reminders taped up in that box. when in his drunken state mo thinks he is dreaming he tian tells him he is because he won’t be there in the morning. UGH. does this also mean mo regularly dreams about he tian?? just end my misery!!
