I keep thinking Café for All was a safe space for Dika so one can assume it was a safe space for Chadok too. Can you imagine Dika and Chadok surrounded by the warmth of the café, away from the school. Chadok takes Dika to the café when Dika feels particularly bad from his disorder. Chadok understanding he is normal when Dika first takes him to the café. Sharing drinks.
I don't know why the older gays have taken my head when you have AkkAyan and KanThua but *grabby hands* ChadokDika!
I wish we'd gotten a final scene of all of them at the café, smiling as the camera pans around the table.

The Eclipse 🌒 Ep. 4 Events
AkkAyan shower confrontation scene = accidental kiss 💋
The teachers decide to gang-up on Ayan in order to “give him some polishing.”
Ayan debates with Teacher Waree about 18th-century philosophers and provides an answer to every challenge.
All day long, Ayan receives pop Q&As from his teachers. Although he has an answer for every question, the experience is mentally and emotionally draining.
Akk finds him laying down on the bleachers exhausted and sits down next to him.
AYAN: Are you so in love with me? You keep staring at my face.
After talking with him a bit, Akk gets up to leave, but Ayan grabs his arm. They look at each for a couple beats, and Akk decides to stay. Then Ayan scoots over and leans his head against Akk’s shoulder. A gentle teardrop runs down his cheek.
AYAN: You won’t be so mean to me too, right?
When Ayan wakes up, Akk is gone. In his place is the vending machine drink Akk bought earlier. Ayan picks up the can, reads the sticky note, and smiles.
Conversation between Ayan and Thua: Thua gives him a caution. Ayan refuses, and Thua lets it go. They also confirm plans for Saturday.
Prefect Trio: Akk decides the best way to get info on Ayan and his motives toward Suppalo is to start following him every day (inside and outside of school). Wat and Kan are unenthusiastic, but Akk manages to wear down Kan’s defenses by leveraging their friendship.
On Saturday, Akk and Kan follow Ayan’s car to an unfamiliar café. Once inside, they discover it’s a diversity café called Café for All 🏳️🌈☕️. Ayan is not there to plan the next World Remembers’ protest but instead to meet Thua and Thua’s mom. Akk and Kan sit/hide at a nearby table and eavesdrop on this personal conversation/“share your feelings” intervention.
THUA’s MOM: I know my son is patient and strong. But you have the right to express your feelings. No matter how busy I am, if it’s about you (son), I (Mom) will always listen.
Thua and Ayan friendship moment
Ayan reveals to Thua that someone close to him used to take him to Café for All frequently, but now that person is dead.
Akk and Kan split up. Akk follows Ayan to a cliff side and watches him lay a white rose on the ground by the edge. Akk sees Ayan bow his head while holding his necklace and journal close to his heart.
Meanwhile, Kan chases after Thua at the beach. He invites the other boy to go for a walk and then get ice cream.
KanThua’s sweet mini ice cream date🍦
KAN: are you still mad at me?
THUA: i’m not mad at you.
“Then why don’t you talk to me these days?”
“ Because you’re uncomfortable when I’m around.”
“I—.”
Thua interrupts him. “I get it. You don’t like when people judge you the same way they judge me.”
feat: Kan dripping his ice cream and Thua laughing at him.
That evening, as Akk and Kan compare notes, they realize the white rose left by Ayan at the cliff’s edge reminds them of Teacher Dika. Up until he left Suppalo for Parot, Teacher Dika used to have a pot of white roses near his desk. Akk wonders if Dika might be the special person Ayan referred to earlier. However, Kan reminds Akk that Ayan’s special person is now dead. Since Kan and Akk believe Teacher Dika is still alive and teaching at their rival school, their train of thought runs into a dead end.
Akk approaches Teacher Waree and asks her to stop being so hard on Ayan and instead let the Student Prefect Club (aka: Akk) be responsible for him. Teacher Waree agrees. Unbeknownst to them, Ayan overhears everything.
He confronts Akk about talking to “Aunt Waree” and about following him around on Saturday. Akk denies everything.
Akk pulls Ayan out of the way of a passing motorcycle (?), and they linger in an impromptu hug until Akk pushes him away.
AKK: D@mn you. If you’re not thanking me for my help, then stop talking.
AYAN: [flicks his eyes over Akk and smiles] Come here then.
Despite some initial resistance from Akk, Ayan walks him over to his car and drives them both over to Café for All.
However, Akk refuses to go in. Therefore, Ayan unlocks his phone, winds his arm around Akk’s neck, and gives him a surprise cheek kiss 💋 , while capturing the moment with his camera.
