"We are on Koh Mae Ko beach and we are going to climb the steep stairs to the viewing platform," Max speaks into the camera, pointing it at the eight feet buried in the sand.
"Do you all have sturdy shoes on? The stairs are very steep, sometimes more like a ladder, and the climb is dangerous!" he explains, filming their legs.
James' white skin shines just behind Nets' tanned one.
He stands behind him, seeking his warmth in the hot outside temperature.
And wears only sandals.
As well as his cougar.
The small feet of Nat wear trekking sandals.
His Pi asked him in the cabin to put on sturdy shoes and Nat always dutifully listens to his dino.
Who even wears sneakers in these temperatures.
"Netjames, you're wearing the wrong footwear! You could slip and hurt yourselves!" grumbles Max, zooming in on the still legs.
Legs that are local to each other, yet seem emotionally distant.
Net's face fails to hide his struggle.
No friendly, warm smile with white teeth.
He doesn't feel able to do that.
And James sad eyes are only on his cougar.
As if he is waiting for the moment when he can throw himself to his cougar to tear.
He should finally catch him and make him his.
And Max decided to lead the vlog camera.
His friends have to climb a steep staircase right now not only in the outer world.
The outer world should now rather be shown from Maxnet's perspective.
"We'll be fine, Pi!" replies James with an effortful smile, "We'll take care of each other!" he declares, daring to touch Net's arm.
He just wants to hold onto him.
To let himself feel him.
And Max brings the camera back up to Netjames.
And decides he'd rather change his view.
Better to look ahead.
Because if you look backwards, the ghosts of the past can catch up with you.
James stands behind Net and holds onto his arm with both hands, while he barely bears this touch with a pained look on his face.
His brow furrows over his dark eyes, lost in the gloom.
The man he loves clings to him.
How many times has he longed for James to seek his closeness?
To rely on him.
That he could be his rock?
But now he believes he never knew this James.
He fell head over heels in love with a man he didn't know.
Let him reject him again and again.
And just never gave up.
He did.
Never before did Net feel so connected to someone.
Never did his heart show such feverish signs for another.
Only James!
Whose heart never beat for him like this.
Who was in other arms.
