After the attack by Noah, Marie becomes painfully aware of her feelings for Arthur. However, realizing this makes her so self-conscious that she can hardly look him in the eye.

Following Marie-2’s advice and support, Marie tries to act as she always does, but her awkwardness only grows.

Feeling disheartened and admitting that “love has made me weaker,” Marie resolves to talk things out properly with Arthur. Their heartfelt conversation helps the two strengthen their bond even more deeply. Just as everything seems to have settled, Marie begins to sense that the distance between Arthur and Marie-2 has become unusually close...
