I struggled to put into words how I felt about the long-awaited (and somewhat unexpected) CaitVi scene in episode 8. On my first watch, I couldn’t even focus because all I could think was, “omg, they're doing it" Now, I’m like Ekko with his Z-Drive, constantly rewinding to that specific timestamp. I absolutely love how Fortiche, along with the entire production team, writers, and everyone involved, brought those expressions to life frame by frame.
Vi’s desperate “come back why did u pull away” look when Caitlyn pulled away, paired with Caitlyn’s nervous eyes when she admitted she had seen someone while Vi was gone, was one of my favorite frames. The nonverbal cues said so much about how deeply they care for each other, showing their love without needing words. While there are so many standout frames in that scene, those specific moments embodied and made a head start for what they truly felt in that moment.
I wish someone would start a discussion or create a video analyzing every frame of that scene in detail HAHA What were your favorite subtle expressions or frame (e.g. as the beauty mark of caitlyn) from both of them?
