This scene from the ray MV (1:47) is sparking some really interesting interpretations and discussions...
Based on the context, this seems to be some catastrophic event in the not too distant past witnessed by Kaguya. It's probably a decent guess that we are looking at the firebombing of Tokyo in WWII (especially with the artist's emphasis on the embers and flames), but in the original work the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki can't be ruled out either. There's of course a few ways to interpret Kaguya's expression. What is certain is that, after waiting nearly 8000 years, she suddenly isn't sure she'll see Iroha again.
It's difficult to determine whether she thinks her presence has changed the time enough for a localized destructive event to make it impossible, or whether she thinks she is witnessing some end-of-the-world scenario (or whether it's just general despair at the state of humanity at this point in time).
Anyway, really cool scene, really cool art referencing it, now go watch the movie if you haven't.

As a side note, people joked on Twitter about how her glare reminds them of her old jockey

I love torturing myself by watching things that ruin my childhood, so I guess that makes me a masochist. That means the pleasure I feel from it doesn’t come from incest, but from watching something that makes me uncomfortable 💀
So those complaints you've been habitually making about other images were just you hornyposting? Because that's not really any better.

This is how people with no siblings imagine having siblings to be like.
My own sibling would walk on me playing the Megadrive, turn it off, and run away laughing.
My understanding of the characters in ZZZ is fairly shallow and I have absolutely no knowledge of your own family situation, but I imagine it's not likely a parentless family like Belle and Wise's situation. The absence of other family would certainly be an influence on the behavior between siblings.
I will say your sibling experience though sounds very common.

Me when I compare a trivial everyday encounter with my sibling when we were children to a pair of adult orphans being distraught at the very real possibility of losing the other and act like my experience is the be all end all of sibling relationships

Everyone I talked to had similar horrible experience with siblings. Through some had it even worse. I still remember that guy who talked to me about how his sister had his dog euthanized while he was on a holiday in some boy scout camp.
