漣蒼士に純潔を捧ぐ / Sazanami Soushi ni Junketsu wo Sasagu
#7. この腕の中にずっと閉じ込めておきたい / Kono Ude No Nakani Zutto Tozikometeokitai / I want to keep you in my arms forever
After the harrowing events of the previous episode, Souji and Nagisa retreat to a hotel to lay low and recover. As Nagisa sleeps soundly in bed, Souji remains by her side, silently watching over her. In his hand, he clutches a handkerchief—a seemingly simple object that holds deep significance. The quiet moment allows Souji to reflect on his past, particularly a life-altering event that set him on the path of the underworld. Memories of betrayal, loss, and survival flood his mind, contrasting sharply with the peace he feels in Nagisa’s presence. In a rare moment of vulnerability, Souji confesses to himself, “You are the only one I have.” This poignant episode peels back the layers of Souji’s complex character, revealing the emotional scars and unwavering devotion that drive him. As the bond between Souji and Nagisa deepens, the shadows of his past loom ever larger, hinting at challenges yet to come.
