you know what? I just realized that Juls says “love isn’t a perversion” and the face that Val does when she hears it. Like, even indirectly, Juls was saying that she loves Val and I don’t remember they saying they love each other before so… that’s some poetic shit

Ohhh, do you think so? @dealanexmachina and I were actually discussing the focus on Val in that moment.

It couldn’t be that she was freaked out by it on the heels of a pretty traumatic few days because she offered the handhold in support a second after. We theorized maybe it was the realization of why the breakup and what Juls is going through, since Juls had mentioned her mom’s reaction as one of the factors behind it. Or maybe it was just because it is still more Val’s story, Maca being fifth billed, higher even than Claudia, Eva’s actress.

But you have brought up an entirely new and feasible theory. I’ll state up front that I have no idea about the different words for love in Spanish, but you could be spot on. Especially if it’s a confirmation to Val that, yeah, even if they’ve broken up, Juls still feels very strongly about her. Hmmmmm. But it is super romantic, to come out like that.
