"Plus, new relationship, lots of sex, all-night New Years Eve party, dealing with parents... it would be amazing if he wasn't tired! (But maybe this is a different quality of tiredness he can't put his finger on?)"
Yeah, I definitely think this is very different. It's only the "not that busy" part that is funny to me - I'm sure under normal circumstances this level of activity doesn't lead to (much) exhaustion for him, but it should probably still count as "busy" regardless. :D
"This is making me really appreciate that in the drama (iirc) she's politicised and says she has to stand with the SID. Being part of the team and protecting the world is a core part of her identity, on top of her crush. (The equivelent scene is in ep 30, 34:27.)"
Thank you for the time stamp and an excuse to rewatch. :D Yeah, the SID is not in danger in the novel, and they're not even involved in protecting the world all that much yet (or at least they don't know how much they're involved) - at this point this is still just a regular case, a regular job and regular co-workers, and she doesn't seem to care about them all that much, compared to how much she cares about Zhao Yunlan. I like the drama version better too, ftr. :)
"I guess I wish he'd distinguish between harmful and evil/filthy/wrong, though? Like, think of it more like an allergy and less like a judgement. You know?"
I feel like this quote ("Every part of me is dark, down to my very soul. Only the very tip of my heart is clean, and that’s where I’ve kept you—where the blood runs red."), unlike many of his other quotes, was pretty free of judgment? Just facts. Oh, unless 'clean' is a judgment, it could be. He does have a problem with his hands being not clean enough.
