Episode Title:
Daydream (A Sweet Lie)
Episode Description:
Bell and Ryuu safely setting up a fire in the new room they’ve discovered. It’s been a while since they’ve seen any monsters, and they begin to assume that they cannot spawn here. They take the opportunity to warm up but find the situation growing awkward when they have to remove their clothes.
As they sit, too embarrassed to look at one another, Ryuu asks Bell to be completely honest about why he returned for her at the Colosseum. He responds that he “couldn’t let anyone else die,” and Ryuu believes he genuinely had no ulterior motives.
After hearing his answer, Ryuu asks Bell if she can tell him the story of what happened to the Astrea Family on the day they were attacked, and he agrees.
Since the fire isn’t warming them up fast enough, Ryuu tells Bell they should consider “skin-to-skin contact.” Bell attempts to make excuses not to, but after awkward promises not to try anything, and a few tension-clearing jokes, they finally go through with it.
