Have you read the Mortal Engines Quartet? This reminds me of a particularly powerful moment from that series.

It's a post-apocalyptic series of books I read in high school about a bunch of cities that go around eating each other. It's seems kind of ridiculous as a premise, but yeah it has stuck with me for a long time, especially the specific moment I'm referring to.

They made a tragically flawed adaptation a number of years back. I found this fan video really cathartic tbh (also explains the back story):
But yeah the bit I'm thinking of is deep into the series and kind of hard to talk about. Let's just say although I'm no doubt looking back through rose-tinted glasses, the vivid, hopeful imagery Reeve wove in my mind has stuck with me decades after putting down that last book.

yes that sort of thing can have such a deep effect! i don't know if it even matters if the subject material is imperfect, just sometimes you find something in things you experience, and it stays with you.
