Starting a thread for today’s episode until AY starts hers 😆
Truth always frees you. And today’s episode was all about Aditya’s truth. He was true to his conscience and in turn to Imlie in a way that he does not share with anyone else. And he is so deeply aware of that. Aware that she is the only one who knows him more than himself. She asked for clarity on their relationship and he gave it to her.
Do we need Aditya to do anything more than what he displayed during the fight? Even Imlie was taken aback for a minute. We will want more but I think that one minute of beating conveyed more than any dialogue ever would about what he was going through and what Imlie means to him. Not that I condone violence.
On the hug, for me personally it was heartrending. These were two people who had decided that they would not occupy the only home they ever knew. Guiltless. But I do know it comes with connotations that will be deciphered differently and that is the sadness of their journey. Until their whole truth is out, their relationship will always be a cathechism.
