The episode’s centerpiece is a nighttime rooftop conversation between Yami and Mea. Mea’s tone is playful, almost predatory. She teases Yami about her growing attachment to Rito, calling it “sweet” and “dangerous.” When Yami denies it, Mea leans in, whispering about Rito’s hidden potential—the "Darkness" that slumbers within all beings. “He doesn’t know it yet,” Mea says, “but he’s the key to everything.”

Yami’s response is silence, but her eyes say everything. She’s no longer just an assassin bound by contract. She’s someone standing at the edge of a precipice, unsure if she wants to look down.

“You’re strange, Rito Yuuki,” she murmurs.
