Something that i realised is how Till says "Let me drown in you" (0:51) to Mizi because he loves and adore Mizi, but she isn't interested in him which makes him crave that love from her even more. He wants to drown in her love but he cant because her love wasnt meant for him, it was meant for Sua. Ivan on the other hand says "I'll drown in you" (2:20) indicating that he can and WILL drown in his love for Till. "Drowning" in this case implies that he'll lose himself the deeper he goes. So this means he'll willingly love Till, even if it means he will lose himself in the process.

Fun fact! (It's not a fun fact I'm on the brink of tears) The Korean word used in "drown" when translated literally can also mean to dye, to color, to infect, or to *taint.* Till's literally singing "Let me be tainted by you," and Ivan's literally singing "Let me taint you,"

SHUT THE HELL UPP

[@clairecook6499]

What’s so heartbreaking about Ivan strangling Till to save him, is the symbol of Ivan taking off Till’s collar that has shown up so many times throughout the series. In their backstory, we see Ivan taking off Till’s restraints on multiple occasions, especially the collar over his mouth. He does it back in Ankat Garden when they make their escape attempt, and he’s shown doing it in the flashback in this episode as well. While the aliens want to stifle Till’s chaotic and rebellious nature, Ivan loves that part about Till, and he wants to free him from his bindings, no matter how loud and violent he can sometimes be. But, when Mitzi disappeared, Till lost his rebellious spirit. As he sings during this round he looks defeated, hopeless, with no fight left to give. Ivan can’t stand for that. He has to help Till get his spirit back, no matter the cost. By Ivan’s final act being strangling Till, what he’s really doing is taking of his collar. He reaches for Till’s neck, for the hundredth time, for the last time, intent, as always, to free Till from the aliens. And when his hands fall away, Till is free -free from the fate that awaited him, and maybe, just maybe, with Ivan’s death, Till can regain his rebellious spirit again.

I LOVE THIS OBSERVATION SM ARGGG

[@Marumer0]

But why did Ivan have to die? I hope Till loved Ivan a little bit. I think Ivan was loved by the aliens and that's why he could be saved. If that happens, I hope they will be together.

[@pheonixangel_]

Anyone notice that if they actually got the chance to sing the whole song, they would’ve sung it together at the same time? They could’ve done what Mizi and Sua were doing, singing together because they saw each other, wanted the other to win. It’s very symbolic that they never got that chance, because in the end, they weren’t doing it for the,selves anymore. Till was too depressed to care for his own life, and Ivan loved him so much that he was willing to sacrifice himself. Truly the most noticeable thing to me. Having the potential opportunity to sing together (symbolising their harmony) but not (meaning they were not in harmony). Also sad the heartbeats in the song for Till and Ivan. Though Till disregarded his life, he was full of anxiety and despair. Ivan on the other hand probably wanted a life with Ivan, but had fully come to terms with the fact that he couldn’t. Despite choosing to die, knowing he was going to die, he was calm and even happy…

[@zla_204]

[@Mika4569]

Actually you can look at the official sound track, for Round 1 they cut out the talking and it's just them humming like in the song but without words. In Round 6 [Cure] in the official song track it's completely different from the video with them singing together at the end and the music part where Ivan chokes Till is completely cut out and moves on till singing then them singing together so in the original sound track they do sing together

i noticed that during till’s last line before the kiss, he’s actually not singing (2:58), meaning he was purposefully trying to lose, and when ivan noticed this he made sure till would win by acting “aggressively” on stage 🥲

[@onigiri8125]

You know, if you compared Ivan's performance in black swan to here, Ivan sang less emotionally here. What I theorised was that the more emotions you put in your singing, the higher points you will get. Cause if you were to hear closely when till was singing, when he thought of sua his voice got raspier. Ivan's voice was similarly like that in black Swan when he started thinking of till. Ivan wanted to throw the entire performance all along by singing more monotonously. Then at the end, till gave up, like what you pointed out. Ivan doubled down and did the choking act, but probably kissed him first because fuck it all right?

[@skelliie2726]

so i've been rewatching the rounds and i realized something. in round 5 when mizi starts beating the shit out of luka, the guards come and pull her off of him, wrangle her away, and only after all that just START to point a gun at her head. but because of all that, the resistance had time to come in and save her. so when ivan started doing the same thing, they began shooting him down immediately. because if they didn't, it would give the resistance time to come in and save him, and they don't want that to happen again. that's why none of the guards approached. they would rather kill him quickly than give opportunity for saving 😭

[@knightnight6533]

NO CAUSE IT MADE ME FEEL SO LIKE STRESS OUT LIKE WHEN I HEARD TILL SING THE FIRST TIME

[@knightnight6533]

Like this was a major jump from his original song, disobeying in like every conceivable manner like he sang the whole part without letting the other guy sing, he killed the guitar alien all with a smirk and passion on his face. He sang with more passion and intensity in his voice and the majority was in English (I don’t think that’s really apart of it I just find it neat). However now he’s quite the opposite. He is singing like how Alien stage is intended to be sung, the genre and tone of the song is completely different than the previous song. While his voice is still really good it lacks the same spark the original song has since it was a huge shift. I know a lot of people point out how Till dresses like if he was going to a funeral and Ivan to wedding. But I also want to point out how different their wardrobes are from the original songs. In Round 2 till was wearing a white loose t-shirt with [not too] loose pants. He also had no shoes which again I feel was meant to show his rebellious nature. Again his current appearance is the opposite a tucked in? (Could be wrong) black shirt that is now missing any design that the last one had. As well as the tight black pants, it’s more form-fitting like he has decided to con”form” with alien stage ever since mizi disappeared. While it’s obvious that he lost his spark and is going through grief and depression because of it the I like how the a simple black outfit can reflect that. Now on to Ivan’s outfit. The most clear difference between his previous and current outfit is the color, from black to white. However there is more about his outfit is that it was constricted I am unsure on what exactly it is (belt?) however now In round 6 those restrictions are no longer seen on him. His current outfit is (recycling the same thing i said about till) except Ivan’s outfit is less form fitting, looser reflecting that he no has anything else to hide because he already knows he will die (he definitely had this planned out) it’s much asymmetrical and has more flow in comparison to his previous outfit. I absolutely adore how Vivinos designs the characters and their outfits to reflect the state they’re in.

[@Nomnomla]

The pain to realize that ivan sacrifice himself for till so he can live happily bro i cant stop sobbing 😭🙏🏽

[@shaythemoonchild431]

The tragic thing for me was seeing how far Ivan has gone to keep Till safe. He literally disguised himself as a security guard to get Till out of that bar. I can only imagine the other things he’s done. I believe that’s the whole reason why he became the fan favorite. He knew being loved by the aliens would give him more freedom to protect and keep Till alive. As the favorite, he had to go through horrifying things but it was all worth it if it meant Till was still there. Truly, Ivan is the best character for me.

disguised at the bar? i think it was an afterparty and ivan was just there with his own guardian like till was.

[@ratonaeva]

The final look Ivan gave to Till at exactly 3:47 it's the reason why Till stayed shocked watching his body even after the lights were off. It's when he realized he sacrificed himself in order to let him keep going cuz it didn't pass unnoticed to my eyes that Ivan saw that Till wasn't even singing back since 2:56 (you can hear the voice, but if you look closely it was added but he's not singing) seeing that his beloved was about to lose, it was when he resorted to the kiss as a goodbye gift to himself and to an apparent violence just as an act for losing the favor of the viewers....In case you were wondering, in an interview it was said that they are the aliens' pets, that's why they treat them like this. And Ivan got quite famous after black sorrow. He had to do something drastic to fall from grace with the fans and sponsors. 😢

There's something truly sad about how Till tries to push Ivan away when he kisses him, but just goes limp when Ivan starts choking him. For a character that's always seen fighting back, when his best friend seemingly tried to kill him, he just accepted it. I think Till went into this competition with the expectation that he would lose, maybe even hoping he would lose since now the only thing that made life worth it to him (Mizi) was gone. Then, his realization of what Ivan did, the fact that Ivan must've felt for him what he felt towards Mizi - that Till dying would've made life pointless for Ivan...

3:23 you see the way this kiss was less aggressive than the other ones? He did that once he saw tills score going up and his going down. This was a more genuine kiss of relief and a kiss to say goodbye, it was softer than the others because Ivan was saying goodbye.

what makes me so sad is that when ivan started kissing him he was panicking kissing him more and more trying to make till look at him, because till never saw ivan as something important but Ivan Till is his God basically he is everywhere in his life hes done so much for him. finally when Till looked at him (when they were kissing) and Ivan gave a sweet little kiss. and then Till realised it all when Ivan was dropping dead smiling How much he meant to Ivan so he was too shocked to even leave him overthinking everything and seeing Ivan in it. so long that the stage lights just close (probably meaning everyone left) I LOVE THEM SM OMG OMG SOBBING

[@Betonryn]

It’s the way that at the end, after the painfully one sided kiss and the “choking” (which even if till wasn’t actually being choked it’s still painful to have someone grab your neck like that) Ivan gives one last small, gentle kiss knowing it’s the last thing he’ll ever do right before he dies

You can tell Ivan had no malice in that "choke hold". The colors often reflect the characters emotions and it stayed the cool blue throughout that scene. There was no red, no anger, maybe only some bitterness and sadness in the cold background. Yet he still smiles, knowing he succeeded in saving his love 😢 Also, I can't tell if the security are just bad shots, or if the first were warning shots to get him to let go. They definitely hurt, he stops smiling and grit through the pain, but if he did, then Till would die instead. Ivan definitely didn't endure all the pomp for himself, everything was always for Tills sake. -

[@erikaperez8665]

What I noticed, what I understood and how I interpreted this. 1.- In the first seconds of this round we hear the beatings of a heart while we watch different moments of Tills life and the experiments that he has endured, almost like he is watching his life pass in front of his eyes. He expects to die at the end of this round and when his actual face is revealed it shows how everything he has gone through is finally taking a toll on him (of course this happens after his reason to live is no where to be found, without Mizi he doesn’t see a reason to move forward). 2.- When he starts singing and the picture behind him shows we can notice the differences between his personality now and how it was back when mizi was “alive”, he is clearly boring the audience as they all look at him with an unimpressed gaze (also, he is competing against a fan favorite). And the phrase “ I don’t want to let you go” makes reference to mizi. Every single line he sings and almost every memory makes reference to her and to her death, Till genuinely thinks he is dead without her. 3.-Then we get the first and only memory of Ivan. From Till’s perspective we get that both of them got into a fight when they were kids and the gaze that Ivan used to look at Till is rather…. Sadistic Unbothered?. I think this is the perception that Till has of Ivan, he isn’t able to read him and therefore has always thought Ivan was annoying him for the fun of it. This scene shifts to a memory of Ivan, as he finds Till knocked out in the karaoke bar. 4.- It’s clear to see the parallel between both memories, the only thing that makes a difference is the way that Ivan looks at Till, his eyes are sparkling, as he is looking at his beloved. 5.- This parallel between scenes shows us that Till doesn’t actually know about Ivan’s feeling for him and that he has always interpreted them as hatred or dismissive, in the other hand, Ivan actually looks at Till lovingly in every memory of himself, he even has the permission to take of the collar of Till. (I don’t think every human can take off the collar of everyone else, but Ivan CAN. This makes me wonder if he is the one who usually saves till and takes care of him, to the point that the guardians have ALLOWED him to do so). 6.-Ivan lyrics also makes reference to Till in every moment. “Even if your cold words carve scars beneath my eyes…” this clearly makes reference to the way Till treats Ivan (which I assume is not pleasant, as Till is almost unaware of his existence). For example: In a community post we see Till complaining about Ivan wishing he would go away, he thinks that Ivan’s presence is making Mizi go away. Ivan just states that Mizi never plays with him, the one that does so is Ivan. 7.- Is almost as if Mizi takes the place of Ivan in every memory of Till, that’s the level of obsession Till has of Mizi. 8.- I wouldn’t be surprised if Ivan was constantly devastated from the things Tills says. This lack of acknowledgement forces Ivan to do drastic things like getting in a physical fight with Till and sadly this is the ONLY memory Till has of Ivan (paragraph 3) so this drastic measures actually work. 9.- The next scene reflects what actually Ivan wants to be noticed, the looks of affection he gives, the gentleness. Nonetheless, the only thing that gets a reacting from Till are the things Ivan doesn’t like (dramatic gestures). And I think Ivan doesn’t really like the grand gestures because of his judgment of Sua and her decision to die for Mizi. (The ultimate sacrifice just for the sake of being remembered). 10.- I want to make another point, in round 3 we can see a flash back of a red flower crown flying past Ivan and Till going after it. I think what happened is that Mizi made this flower crown for Sua, the flower crown flew away and till wanted to get it back for Mizi (who wanted it for Sua) Mizi and Till go into the home of an alien flower (also shown in the memories) and the flower eats this flower crown, making Till try and fight with the alien plant to get it back for Mizi, Till ends up getting hurt and Ivan just watches from the back. (This is what I can deduce with round 3 flashbacks). In this round we see another flashback of that same day (maybe) where Ivan is watching the plant form the back and one where he is touching its teeth, I think either Ivan calmed down the plant or he managed to get the flower crown from its mouth without getting hurt, whatever happened it culminated on Ivan getting Tills wound treated (Mizi probably fled the scene or trusted Ivan to take care of Tills, as they were close friends even if Tills doesn’t seem to recall that). 11.- Then Ivan is seen caressing Tills wounded face in a hospital and finally Tills running away from their attempted escape. This is even more devastating as we can now interpret their escape as Ivan’s way of saving Till for the millionth time, expecting to be saved at the same time, expecting Till to be grateful and running away with him because maybe, just maybe, Till will care enough about both of them to move forward and finally acknowledge the sacrifices Ivan constantly makes for him, but alas, Till runs away and decides their fate. 12.- We see a glimpse of real life Till being depressed as Ivan pours his heart out in the chorus. “In your gaze where I’m seen…” he doesn’t even look at Ivan in the memories nor in real life. Till cannot see the suffering in Ivan, and Ivan just sees the suffering of Till. Ivan was never seen, every glimpse of his memory he longs for the gaze of Till, but he never acquires it. 13.- “Face to face we dance…” Ivan keeps looking at Till, trying to make it about them. “With our story…” Till looks in front of him thinking about Mizi. He stops singing and Ivan directly starts his plan. Even when he KNOWS Ivan is heading towards him, Till is not bothered to look at him. 3:04. Until he has to. 14.- And for the first time the roles change, The one with sparking eyes is Till and Ivan just looks at him without anything. The first kiss they shared and Till is still unable to read Ivan. For him, this came out of nowhere 3:15. His surprise changes to alert when Ivan grabs him by the throat. Ivan isn’t even hurting him. 15.- Ivan is concerned for the lack of resistance that Till shows, Ivan has fell in love with the resilience and defiance of Tills personality and now it’s nowhere to be found. The numbers change and Ivan’s plan works, he starts being killed for the “aggression” he is committing. Even when he is dying, till is not looking at him. Finally he lets go, as he ensures his loved one will survive. And as he falls his last picture is Till finally looking at him. Ivan smiles as a last goodbye, the smile is enough to make Till understand everything he hadn’t noticed before. There is no people, no Mizi, no aliens, no cameras and no microphones. It’s only Ivan, as the spotlight focuses on them, Till realizes he has lost the only thing that was constant, the reason he has actually managed to survive this long. Meanwhile, Ivan is now the thing he despised, he has done this last grand gesture to make Till look at him (paragraph 9). He has died in what he longed all along. Maybe it was never meant to be. Edit: OMG GUYS YOU ARE SO NICE.

I know people keep saying we don't see any trace of Ivan in Till's eyes until it was already too late, but I think it's more tragic to point out that we do see Till 'see' Ivan during his section. When they were kids, when Ivan had no light in his eyes. So, I think it'a more appropriate to say that the end was more like the first time Till ever saw the light in Ivan's eyes and been able realize that that light had always been for him.

We haven't seen half human, half alien characters in Alien Stage. And I think it would be interesting. I haven't decided how Ivan and my Oc will meet yet. But I want Ivan to have a guy who loves him too. I think Ivan will teach my Oc what it means to be human . I was a bit inspired by the original Macross Anime and it's movie Do You Remember Love?

I feel like it's also part of the reason why he kissed Till during the competition as well. Because of Mizi being gone, he looked like he was on the verge of giving up and Ivan didn't want that.

[@margarettshinearevalo7069]

i'd just like to point out the fact that ivan fell in love with till because of his rebellious attitude and his spirit, when he fought against that monster dog thing when he they were still kids at the episode for round three. and the fact that part of till had only shone out because mizi was there with him, presumably wanting to protect mizi by fighting back against the monster. i think ivan finally really starts to understand the extent of how much till loves mizi when he saw that till had no fighting spirit left in him to fight back when he choked him. to me, it wordlessly told ivan that he fell in love with the rebellious fire of a boy that was ignited by someone else. that till's hope was mizi, and that the fire would extinguish alongside her disappearance. that fight in till was never for ivan to fall in love with, it was for and because of the hope he gets from mizi.

Guys, can we take a moment to appreciate the foreshadowing? In black sorrow, Ivan sang "at the end of this story, there is only a cold spot stained with blood and such black, black sorrow." And we all know who black sorrow is meant to signify? TILL. i am not okag 😭

[@Aperson-jx4mv]

OML THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS THINKING. there are a couple of parallels in black sorrow and cure. (2:59 mentions the story bit) (in black sorrow the lyrics "where eyes reach, where your fingertips brush" and 0:15 - 0:30 "allow me, to the tips of your fingers, allow me, to the ends of your feet, dissolve me in your gaze)

[@Angel...............]

ok but how the second kiss feels much more genuine. Like after he checks the scores he gives him a short gentle one that feels both like a reassurance and a goodbye. Since Ivan tends to always look out for him in the past I guess thats how his genuine emotions shows up more. And that's when Till looks calm, really sees him and fully embrace him and the situation.

[@strawberry_jelly262]

IKR that’s exactly what I was thinking bc ofc the first kiss was a shock to till but the second time is exactly how you describe it

[@freshpresso9436]

I find Till's development in this clip very interesting. You can see here that he's given up. He is the first to stop singing, he barely resists Ivan during the kiss. It's such a stark contrast to the first clip. Till from the past could put up a fight, but he doesn't now. Till is so devastated. On the cotrust, seeing Ivan's eagerness to fight for every bit of attention from Till, and his immense strength for self-sacrifice really breaks my heart.

[@That0neStay]

this.

[@CyberWarezz05]

Yeah, and he's like that because Mizi disappeared. In the first clip she was almost next to him and basically the song was dedicated to her. Now, with her missing, he feels like he has nothing to lose anymore and I find this pretty interesting since we know that Mizi loved Sua and showed no interest in Till. He's so in love with her and devoted it hurts...

[@Alexell_Tata]

Notice how starting from 2:54 of the vid, Ivan's eye lack those glint or white stuff on his eye, they only came back when, FIRST, when he was looking at the scores. Then SECOND, when he was shot for the last time. Notice how he lacked those glint while kissing Till. It's as if he wanted Till to hate him even more, so that the ending can be less painful. Notice how, even with the cold demeanor and forcing Till, at the end, he was able to be relieved that the person he loves most got to live. That even then, Ivan managed to show who he really is to Till before dying. Just like in Black Sorrow, Ivan's mask broke because of Till, and in the end, Ivan's end, it was still Till who broke that mask of his. Only Till.

It felt a lot like ivan was trying to make till hate him even more so till would remember him, kinda like how it was hinted that sua originally was going to sacrifice herself for mizi to save mizi and also so mizi would remember her

[@bombom1157]

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@Ms.Matcha-u2y]

​@@msk-qp6fn hits hard when you remember the community post where Ivan talks to Sua about being selfish and sacrificing herself because Ivan sAYS to her "you'll be a traumatic experience to Mizi" he knows Till doesn't love him, nor even look at him even when Mizi isn't around, but he still plays up his cold persona so Till doesn't pity Ivan when he dies- which knows he will. Ivan doesn't want any good memories attached to him in Till's mind so that Till can continue fighting and live on with no heartbreak.

[@daniramadhani7290]

0:38 Till is forced to sing "My Clematis," reading from the lyrics on the screen. I think he didn’t sing well because he was distracted by Mizi, and the part he sang was Sua's (My Clematis Ivan & Till ver). Ivan sang Mizi's part, but the aliens got angry because that wasn't what they wanted, so they showed a picture of the missing Mizi to clarify that they wanted Mizi's part sung as well. 1:01-1:08 An alien tries to restrain Till and mistreats him, evident in the subsequent scene where Till's clothes are wrinkled, and his body appears weak. 1:13 & 1:30 Till hallucinates seeing Mizi due to the effects of the drugs, but in reality, it's Ivan in front of him. That's why Ivan came back to save him. Ivan couldn’t save Till immediately because Ivan’s owner is a wealthy and influential person (he mentioned himself that he has to behave well because his owner is quite famous). That bar is where aliens showcase their pet-humans, and Ivan has all the access because of his owner and his popularity as a model. 1:23 & 1:25 Till is discounted at 50% at a store, and Ivan is tortured by his previous owner. It seems they both came from the same seller who liked to abuse pet-humans. Possibly, the alien in the "Black Sorrow" MV who wanted to throw Ivan off the building, but Ivan got lucky as he ended up at an auction and got a rich owner. 1:44 This might seem a bit odd, but Ivan should already be standing in front of the mic to ensure his voice is clearer to the audience since he wasn’t holding a hand mic or a mic close to his mouth. So, from this moment, he had already planned to reduce his points for Till's victory. In the early scene, Till was already standing in front of the mic. 2:11 - 2:14 Ivan looks at Till writing a song (perhaps for Mizi), which is why Ivan glances at Till afterward, imagining that the song was written for him. 2:15 - 2:19 The Raptor from "Black Sorrow," Ivan feels jealous about the song lyrics Till wrote, so he sets him up with Mizi to see his reaction. Ivan likes to act like a superhero, taking Till’s things and then returning them like a savior. However, this plan failed because Till firmly resisted since Mizi was with him, causing Ivan to watch from a distance. 2:20 - 2:21 After saving Mizi, Till gets injured and is treated while Ivan faithfully waits, pondering if he should hurt him more to get his attention. 2:28 - 2:35 Ivan’s bullying continues, causing Till to suffer the same wounds. Ivan licks Till’s blood, as if to say only he can heal him. Ivan also doesn’t wear a shock collar (since childhood, as seen more clearly here), indicating he can do more than he could as a child. 2:37 - 2:40 Ivan could remove the shock collar since childhood (perhaps his owner showed him how or he’s just smart, many students call Ivan a genius). Ivan doesn’t remove it in this scene because he knows Till wouldn’t go anywhere without Mizi. He just wants to reach Till, emphasizing that only he can free him, as he did in the bar. 2:54 - 2:56 Ivan glances at Till, who has stopped singing. 3:00 Ivan ensures that Till has given up. 3:23 Everyone knows the meaning of this kiss. 3:48 Till is confused by Ivan’s smiling face and not really choking him; he’s still processing everything that’s happened. 3:57 The audience has left, the lights are off, no guards are approaching-they probably don’t care, but Till clearly starts to realize something. He notices Ivan’s presence and keeps staring at his lifeless body. This is contrary to Till’s indifferent nature, who only cares about Mizi. Here, Till begins to realize that someone has been paying attention to him just as Mizi did for Sua. Many say that because Ivan’s owner is rich, he wouldn’t let him die, but like in "Black Sorrow," Ivan is just a trophy. Once he loses, his owner will leave and look for another pet, as wealthy people do. EDIITT : I take back my words about Ivan's owner being a bad alien. I think he is the best among the top 3. (I previously thought Luca's owner was the best because of his cute face, but it turns out he is the slyest and heartless one). Ivan's owner said he was a bit disappointed that Ivan lost in round 6 and was curious about what changed this ambitious boy to lose (Poor Ivan, even his owner didn't know he fell in love to death) 😭. Then, when asked about any regrets, he said that what Ivan gave him was already quite a lot, so even though he lost, he considered it all worth it. (It seems like he wanted to thank Ivan 🥹). When asked if he would return next season, he said he wouldn't and wanted to focus on investing in other businesses. I think he is the type of father who says you can't keep a cat, but in the end, falls in love with the cat, and when the cat dies, he is heartbroken and full of sadness but can't express it. Ivan's owner is the best 🥹, perfectly matching Ivan's character, where from the outside, they appear to be a mysterious bad person, but inside, they are warm-hearted.

‎I have a theory. If you pay attention, in scene 1:01 Till is being cornered at the table, and at minute 1:08 it seems that Till is gone, tired, something like that. What makes us understand that Till was sexually abused by the Aliens. In minute 3:07, Ivan kisses Till, but not in a demonstration of affection, of love. Well, we know that they grew up surrounded by Aliens, they don't know about love, they don't know how to show it, they don't know their feelings, nothing. Practically Ivan wants Till to think of him by force, we take into account that Till only thought of Mizi, then: Ivan kisses Till, making Till remember how he was abused by the aliens and think, and remember Ivan, despite in a traumatic, disgusting way. Minute 3:43, Ivan releases Till knowing that he is going to die. Minute 3:44, Till sees Ivan's smile and just at that moment, he realizes how Ivan felt and that he cared about him. Minute 3:53, Till has big drops in his shoe, in a demonstration that he is crying for Ivan's death.

What did he think of Ivan at the end? Did he finally realize how he was his sole ally when everything else seemed to be either blind or hostile towards him? Did he realize Ivan was going through the exact same thing he did with Mizi? That he gave away his freedom just for him, only to never even be perceived by the apple of his eye?
