anyway end of 🧵, i just rlly needed to get this off my chest lmfao. i was half asleep so sorry if this is nonsensical
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
which I just really wanted to point out because its MY analysis which means its MY rules and I WILL point out Rui stuff because I love him and relate to him too much.
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
Rui and Tsukasa also have the most lines out of everyone. Rui has the line "Da-dum, before I can touch you, you disappear" with Len (though the start is sung by everyone, it is needed for the context of Rui's line), -
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
Nene, and Len's expressions during this part, but I want to interpret it as Rui finally finding a place where he belongs because of Tsukasa - A deep love and trust for him, no matter if its platonic or romantic.
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
Now to Ruikasa.

"Shake, shake my heart, yay!" This scene goes from Tsukasa to Rui - Rui closes his eyes when he places his hands on his chest. I can't get a close, high quality view of Emu, -
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
Rui is the only one meant to be doing "unique" choreography because he is the protagonist, the one the story centers on. If Tsukasa and Len did that, then all the meaning of his choreography would be gone.
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
it's a dance. You can't show the same things in acting as you can a dance, and having Tsukasa and Len just stand in the background doing who knows what would ruin the choreography and what they're trying to convey -
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
They are also always on the sidelines, "interacting" with only Rui and Tsukasa. I don't have an explanation for why Emu "interacted" with Tsukasa seeing as we also don't have confirmation that any of the alter egos interacted with The Girl in the 2dmv, but I think it might've just been because-
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
They also don't "interact" with Len (except for that one background scene, but I explain that later) like Rui and Tsukasa do, which no confirmed alter ego of The Boy interacted with the Handman in the original 2dmv.
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
Emunene being the alter egos is also sort of simple

The Boy has been shown to have 2 alter egos with him in most scenes, which means it would make sense if Emunene are the alter egos.
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
But he's also made from Tsukasa's feelings, though in this case, he's playing the role of the Handman, which in Eve's lore, means he is technically a manifestation of Rui's feelings.
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
Len being the Handman is easily explainable

He has the most "interactions" with Rui and Tsukasa, he is almost always in the centre of the stage, he does the guy's choreography, and he's honestly just chilling.
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
There's also a part of the original 2dmv that looks a lot like the scene in the main story where Tsukasa got Rui to rejoin Wonderlands x Showtime (im too lazy to find the picture)
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
which in the original 2dmv, The Boy and The Girl have the most interactions with the Handman.
He is also the one focused on in the "Steadily we close the gap, yet we remain far apart" line, which probably has some meaning that I'm too tired to analyze fully
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
Tsukasa being The Girl is sort of flimsy, but it has enough evidence imo

During his Solo line, he does a pose very, VERY similar to the girl in the mv that it probably isn't a coincidence. He is also the only one to do Len's choreography and has the most "interactions" with Len during the mv -
December 13, 2024 at 1:53 PM
During the chorus, he goes against everyone else's choreography 3 times in total. Every time, he rejoins the choreography, doing the girl's choreography instead of the guy's choreography, which I think is on purpose, because there was no reason for him to continue doing the girl's choreography.
