Wiege is about what could be.
What still is.
What manages to be despite all odds.
And god if that doesn't just perfectly encapsulate what Alien Stage is all about.
The morse code spelled out "ALIVE" because Wiege, and Alien Stage as a whole, explores what it means to live and to be alive.
Yes Alien Stage is about the tragedies forced upon them due to a cruel universe far bigger than they can ever hope to match.
But it is also about the love found and bonds formed even in this harrowing world.
this frame. this scene.
luka runs to embrace hyuna, the same embrace he gave as a child.
but he didn't receive the same embrace back. at least, not exact.
the one that hyuna gave was not an embrace, but an act of protection. she did not reach out to luka to hold him 'lovingly' but to protect him from the bullet that was about to go his way.
you can see in her eyes how worried she was for luka, and how focused she is in protecting him, in seeing him safe.
only then when she was reassured that he was safe was when she gave an embrace. a hold that never let's go, a hold of forgiveness, a hold of love; an embrace.
because to hyuna, her priority at that moment was to protect luka. unlike luka, who didn't even mind the gun in his head, whose gaze was only focused on hyuna, only focused on the love he feels for her that it transcends death.
meanwhile hyuna focuses on the death that luka is about to receive, an act of protection that is an act of love as well. point is, they both love eachother, but they're looking at different ways, luka at hyuna and hyuna at the gun. but despite this, they love eachother, they care for eachother. a love that transcends the thought of death and a love that's willing to die in order for the other to live.
People joke about Dazai and Chuuya being romantically experienced or whatever, but I think it's the opposite. Chuuya doesn't know what that stuff is because Mori thinks it's funny
