OMG MY HEART!!! This is, like, so much worse than the last installment, LOLOLOL. Oh Arthur! In a way, I’m really glad they did break up here because their relationship was so obviously unhealthy by the end that it just felt inevitable. I think I would have pained me more if Arthur did decide to just continue following Eames instead of going his own way. I feel like this is a good thing because they can both grow up and Arthur can become more confident in himself again. That doesn’t detract from the fact that this totally broke my heart.
