Figaro frowned, “Is that true?” He asked.
Faust was also frowning now, “Why would it be a lie?”
“You wish for me to stay… so I can witness your accomplishment… right?” Some sort of realization seem to have dawned on Figaro’s face
DVD Commentary for this please 🙏 I feel like there's something I'm missing about it so I feel like it would clarify things for me
OH I just made a post on this.
I feel like the fundamental misalignment on figaro and faust's value here is like... Faust was saying "I'm disappointed that my goals actually still means nothing to you and that I was just being humoured" but all Figaro hear is "Faust want me to witness his accomplishment? Faust wants my acknowledgement? I matter? Yay!"
Cause Figaro felt like Faust would prioritize everything else before him, so it doesn't make a difference if he leaves, right? They'll succeed in the revolution so it's fine. He's not needed anymore. So to hear that "I wanted you to be here to witness my growth" is like, enough affirmation to get him to stay in this AU. Cause Faust isn't just using him as convenient god/mentor. Faust definitely wants him here.
