Reprieved Heart - Episode 7

Mira Vale unexpectedly encounters her commander at night and claims to be enjoying the view. He spots the medicine she is holding, but she brushes it off as a bug bite remedy, refusing to share it. He asserts that since her bites are his fault, he will take responsibility. She tries to resist the help, insisting they are not close, but he pressures her to get to know him, using his authority to initiate a personal conversation. With her guard up, she establishes that she is off duty and safe from retaliation before the commander steers their talk toward a discussion about the Queen, raising the stakes.
