And he's so quiet and shy and adorable and I love him so hard. Oh, Matthew. I mourn for him so hard every time I watch him die. I swear I go through half a tissue box just from that scene and the one after it between Anne and Mirilla. *sniff*
I also always seem forget how much this miniseries makes me smile and how lost I get in that world. I've been watching this darn thing from the time I was 11 and it just never gets old. Ever.
