Climbing Into the Flame - エピソード 5

At a gambling table Aeron goes all in and keeps winning, then raises the stakes: if he wins he doubles his chips, but if he loses his fiancée must take off her clothes. Family members watch in disbelief; one calls him ruthless while others point out she supposedly agreed. When she hesitates, Aeron delivers an ultimatum—"You dare refuse me, I'll break off the engagement"—and threatens consequences for her parents. The public bet becomes a coercive demand, leaving her forced choice and the engagement's fate unresolved.
