replied to your post “also somewhat relatedly i love the thought of all those little moments…”
i actually always saw the last thing griffith remembers as a call back to the first bit we see of them together in the black swordsman arc (when griffith pulls the bodies off of guts) idk why now bc they both look older and i like this better.
i think it might be anyway, like not a return to that scene specifically bc they are def older, but it’s another scene where griffith seems to help a minorly injured guts after a battle. the first time we saw them together was a flashback, the last time is a flashback, the first time they were just starting to open up to each other, the last time they have their arms around each other just enjoying each others’ presences
yk as an illustration of their relationship it’s pretty apt especially as a compare/contrast to that very first scene, whether it’s intentional or not
