I don't know why, but the way Matthias' character growth was just cut so short is just sticking with me so hard today. Like I know he was a changed man and he loved Nina, yet there was so much he didn't get to do. It's so heartbreaking.
And the fact that we're introduced to him when he's thinking and dreaming of Nina and he dies dreaming of her will never not kill me. It's so tragically beautiful.
Like I could never.
