[Quarantine Marathon] "Sexual Healing" Part 2
Max: I hope this isn't my fault.
Liz: Why would this be your fault?
Max: If I startled you…
Liz: No. You know, I always knock over strawberries this time of day. Always.
— What?! Is she listening to herself? That makes no sense at all! 🤣
Liz: What are you doing here, Max?
Max: Well, I have orders from my planet to take over the Earth.
— Ahahahahah, alien joke to break the ice, even though his eyes are burning. Liz can see it, too! 🔥
— Are you listening to yourself, Max? Why would he possibly think they wouldn't be friends anymore?!
Liz: Yeah. I mean, we are.
Max: Good.
Liz: Why wouldn't we be?
— For the same reason you knock over strawberries every day, I guess... 🤣 🔥
Liz: Max, people do a lot of dumb things when they're drunk. Anyway, I understand.
— Max is drunker right now then he was in the other moment. Metaphorically, of course! But he's severely under the influence of something… And so is Liz! 🔥
Max: Just friends?
— You know the answer to that question. Why are you stalling, Max? 🤣
— It's good to see Max coming around from his cold feet status he had ever since "The Pilot". My guess (my head-cannon, really) is that he didn't forget his moment of honesty in "Blind Date", and he can't really look away or pretend that night didn't happen, or that it didn't get to him that Liz always wanted to be in a relationship with him. It's really good to know they're finally on the same page! 👏 💞
— The eye sex is killing me! 🔥 💞 #sizzling
— Max is so 'drunk', he no longer cares where he is. He got the message loud and clear, and he's finally ready to act on it. And I'm perfectly fine with that! 👏 #Dreamers
— There's nothing better than to see all the sexual tension that had been suppressed for so long to be released at this moment! 🔥 💞
— Contrary to popular belief, this wasn't the first time Liz had visions of Max's past. The first time happened when they kissed in "Blind Date".

The Kepler supernova remnant is the debris from a detonated star that is located about 20,000 light years away from Earth in our Milky Way galaxy. In 1604 early astronomers, including Johannes Kepler who became the object’s namesake, saw the supernova explosion that destroyed the star. We now know that Kepler’s supernova remnant is the aftermath of a so-called Type Ia supernova, where a small dense star, known as a white dwarf, exceeds a critical mass limit after interacting with a companion star and undergoes a thermonuclear explosion that shatters the white dwarf and launches its remains outward.
---
The remnant, called W49B, is about a thousand years old, as seen from Earth, and is at a distance about 26,000 light years away. The supernova explosions that destroy massive stars are generally symmetrical, with the stellar material blasting away more or less evenly in all directions. However, in the W49B supernova, material near the poles of the doomed rotating star was ejected at a much higher speed than material emanating from its equator. Jets shooting away from the star’s poles mainly shaped the supernova explosion and its aftermath.

Vivo sempre no presente. O futuro, não o conheço.
L. do D.
Vivo sempre no presente. O futuro, não o conheço. O passado, já o não tenho. Pesa-me um como a possibilidade de tudo, o outro como a realidade de nada. Não tenho esperanças nem saudades. Conhecendo o que tem sido a minha vida até hoje — tantas vezes e em tanto o contrário do que eu a desejara —, que posso presumir da minha vida de amanhã senão que será o que não presumo, o que não quero, o que me acontece de fora, até através da minha vontade? Nem tenho nada no meu passado que relembre com o desejo inútil de o repetir. Nunca fui senão um vestígio e um simulacro de mim. O meu passado é tudo quanto não consegui ser. Nem as sensações de momentos idos me são saudosas: o que se sente exige o momento; passado este, há um virar de página e a história continua, mas não o texto.
Breve sombra escura de uma árvore citadina, leve som de água caindo no tanque triste, verde da relva regular — jardim público ao quase crepúsculo —, sois, neste momento, o universo inteiro para mim, porque sois o conteúdo pleno da minha sensação consciente. Não quero mais da vida do que senti-la a perder-se nestas tardes imprevistas, ao som de crianças alheias que brincam nestes jardins engradados pela melancolia das ruas que os cercam, e copados, para além dos ramos altos das árvores, pelo céu velho onde as estrelas recomeçam.

Love Under a Leaky Parasol - Part 5
Jiro goes back to work eventually. Since he’s being hunted down by the secret police, his boss hides him in his home. One day, he gets a phone call from his boss telling him Nahoko has suffered a lung hemorrhage; a clear sign of her deteriorating health. I’m not sure if the image we see is Jiro’s imagination or if it’s factual, but the lung hemorrhage is deeply disturbing.
Jiro goes into shock after hearing the news, but he goes into full panic mode once he realizes that the telegram his boss read to him is already two days old. He frantically changes his clothes and immediately gets himself on the noon bus to go to Tokyo by train. He wants to be there to help her and comfort her, but he fears it’s too late already. On the road to Tokyo, Jiro tries to work as a form of keeping his mind busy, so that he doesn’t give into despair, but while he’s doing his calculations, tears run freely down his face, denouncing the emotional turmoil he’s experiencing. His love for Nahoko is a driving force in his life, and the uncertainty of her condition is taking a heavy toll on him.
The minute Jiro arrives at her residence, he avoids the front door for fear of being kept for too long by her father. He can’t wait a moment longer, so he crosses the garden and spots a light in Nahoko’s room. He sees her lying in bed, breathing softly. As soon as she notices his presence, he bursts into the room and throws himself into her arms.
Nahoko is overjoyed to hold him again, and she caresses his head lovingly. This moment is filled with a sense of longing, relief, and the joy of being reunited. Their urgent embrace is a symbol of their deep love, hope and resilience.
Jiro apologizes, assuring her that he wished he could’ve been there sooner, and they share a tender kiss.
As much as she loves him, as much as she is relieved by his presence, Nahoko can’t stop worrying about his safety. “You’ll catch it,” she said, with a trembling voice, fearing that the white plague would consume him as well, due to their proximity. Jiro doesn’t dwell on her fears. He says simply “You’re beautiful.” Nahoko shakes her head vehemently. His casual attitude about the risk of infection makes her feel a little uneasy.
There’s nothing beautiful about Tuberculosis… Even though Hayao Miyazaki doesn’t show us many of the symptoms (apart from that gastly hemoptysis scene). Nahoko probably suffers a range of symptoms from anemia, loss of weight and appetite, labored breathing, fever, fatigue, general malaise… We never see her coughing nor do we hear any wheezing when she breathes, but again, Miyazaki doesn’t want to go to the nitty-gritty of TB symptoms. This particular scene is highlighted by the fact that when we see her in bed her breathing is rapid and shallow. She can't quite seem to take a deep breath anymore.
Whichever symptoms she actually has, no person can feel at ease when they are at death’s doors. Jiro doesn’t care about the risks; he sees past the disease, into the eyes of the valiant woman he fell in love with. He mutters a heartfelt “I love you”, showing the depth of his devotion and his willingness to face any obstacle with her. Nahoko is deeply moved by his words. Tears stream down her face as she pulls him in for a yearning embrace, thankful for his love, taking comfort in his soothing presence during this terrifying moment, wishing to keep him there with her forever.
His visit has a magical effect on her. When her father reaches her room, her voice denounces a much cheerier mood, even though Jiro can’t stay for long. In front of his future father-in-law, Jiro says that the next time he comes for a visit, he’ll use the front door. Maybe he doesn’t want to fall off his father-in-law’s good graces by breaching etiquette, but Nahoko assures him that the garden is much more fun than the front door. Jiro smiles and agrees to indulge her will. After all, the garden entrance is a more secluded route, away from prying eyes, and she was as surprised as she was thankful for his spontaneous entrance. Nahoko, unlike her father, is a free-spirit and doesn’t care for that level of formality or etiquette. Jiro’s gesture reminds her of the playful spontaneity of their courtship in the mountains, and him being willing to do whatever it takes to be with her.
On his way out, Jiro says: “Is it that serious? I wish I could look after her.” He feels helpless against an enemy as daunting as Tuberculosis. Mr. Satomi has been through this process before, when he lost his wife to the White Plague. He assures him “The way to do that is to focus on your work.” In truth, there’s nothing Jiro can do for Nahoko other than succeeding at his work and ensuring a better future for her. Besides, he knows his daughter well enough to know that she would not want her illness to hinder Jiro’s dreams and ambitions. It is necessary to strike a balance between Jiro’s work and his personal life, and that is the ultimate challenge for any young couple.
Mr. Satomi might also be trying to protect Jiro’s emotional wellbeing. He knows how emotionally draining it is to see someone you love suffer without being able to alleviate their pain, and he doesn’t want Jiro to get too close to Nahoko and then have to watch her die. By focusing on his work, Jiro will be able to maintain a sense of purpose and avoid becoming overwhelmed by the challenges of Nahoko’s condition.
When Mr. Satomi returns to the house, he finds his daughter with tears in her eyes. A whole new battle is raging inside her. She seems to have accepted her fate, until Jiro walks back into her life, although I’m not sure if she is accepting or just resigned… When we see her at the hotel in the mountains, she has this apparent serene attitude towards her life. It makes me wonder: what was she doing in the mountain hotel with her father? Well, the mountain is high in the Japanese Alps (good quality air), she gets to be there with her father (her remaining family member) at a safe distance (because she doesn’t want him to get sick), and she gets to enjoy her life while throwing herself into her art (she’s an oil painter whose passion provides her with a sense of purpose and joy). It’s the best possible scenario for the remaining members of the Satomi family.
But then the wind rises and Jiro is brought back into her life… His love for her and her love for him rekindle her fighting spirit, compelling her to go against the cursed destiny that had been set for her after her mother’s death. In the face of insurmountable odds, love provides the strength and courage to persevere.
Nahoko accepted Jiro’s marriage proposal on the condition that she would get better from her Tuberculosis first. Only one question remains: how far along is her illness, and can she even get better from it? Because we are never given details on exactly how advanced it is, we want to think that it’s in its early stages. When she’s at the mountain hotel, she has a fever, but since she caught a real downpour, that doesn’t appear strange at first. It’s only after we know that fever is a symptom of Tuberculosis and that getting soaked diminishes the immune system’s response, do we start thinking that this fever is connected to the rain, but it’s also connected to TB. If there was any equilibrium in the disease before, the downpour might have contributed to the disequilibrium in favor of the infection. And then, not long after, she suffered a lung hemorrhage. There’s no coming back from this disease, she’s past the point of no return. Going to a sanatorium is not going to heal her, but as long as she thinks she has a shot at gaining a few months, weeks or even days with Jiro, she will give it a try.

[Quarantine Marathon] "Sexual Healing" Part 1
— OK, first things first. There are alien heads all over that locker room. Nice touch!
Liz: But the thing is, these feelings are strong… dangerous, undeniable. It's like I have no choice. It's like… chemical.
— Powerless against youthful yearnings. We've all been there. And yes, it is chemical!
— To be in such a vulnerable position and still have Max giving her that smoldering look… It's reminiscent of the Pilot where he reverses the connection and, all at once, she knows his innermost secret thoughts and emotions. It's probably a universal fantasy that one could be so vulnerable with someone and still be accepted and desired.
— Maria always has to ruin everything, 🤣, but still, how bad does Liz have it when she's fantasizing about Max in the middle of her shift?
— The innocence of youth, fragility, Love and sensuality. All of this the strawberries are symbolic of. There's nothing better to represent the sweetness of love and the physical and emotional connection between Max and Liz. 🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓🍓
