REWIND [一瀬グレン/Ichinose Guren MMV] JPN/ENG

"You’ll fall so much deeper, so much darker than I did. You pretend that you’re good and just, but someday, when hope is gone and the future is lost… Ahh, I can’t wait, Guren. I can’t wait to see that happen." - Mahiru, Catastrophe at sixteen (book 5)

I've worked on this for 10 days, but the result isn't what I expected ofc... but nvm I will improve at my own pace. I love editing ons, the feels are real, especially lately with the novels...
I hope you enjoy! ^^

Dedicated to Otherland and my friend Lynn. ♡

A big thank you to tang-wei who gave me the two japanese sentences at 0:35 and 0:45!

Some curiosities/explanations (?):
At 0:49 I put 17473 hours in the countdown, because Guren has less than 2 years left to save his friends in the current chapters of the manga (of course the number isn't accurate; 17500 hours = about 2 years);
At 1:27 there's the now famous and meaningful glance Guren spared at his squad AFTER Shinya had told him that he's never been good at handling that kind of loss;
At 1:36 there are a few particles around Guren: their birth color is purple like the natural color of his eyes, but slowly the particles turn red, like his eyes when he's possessed (fits the moment, as he was about to give in and let Mahiru take over his body);
At 1:22 the sky is sunny and the "haze" color is violet, but at 1:46, when Guren is possessed, the haze color is red (again related to his eyes);
The video focuses on Guren and his desire of saving his friends, therefore the presence of other characters outside the squad is rare and justified (Mahiru is the one who "taught" Guren about the experiment, she is also his demon and probably follows her purposes through him (?); Yuu is the boy Guren rescued and used for the experiments; Kureto is Guren's "ally" and he wants to save the squad as well to use them for a greater purpose (I suppose, since he needs Shinya); Shinoa doubts Guren and she is suspicious of his intentions, she's the only one who noticed Guren's weird behavior before the betrayal in Nagoya).
