00:00In the mesmerizing prelude to the forthcoming episode,
00:03Soonga quietly confides in Kianu that all she needs is to survive the night
00:07and keep the evil spirit from taking hold of him again.
00:11Just one night, and a chance to say sorry for failing to protect him.
00:15But before the guilt can weigh her down further, Kianu gently wipes her tears,
00:19his voice steady as he assures her they'll face this together.
00:23And from the back, Soonga's spiritual mother watches in silence
00:26as Kianu admits to Soonga that he broke his promise not to make her cry.
00:30Apologizing for the pain he caused and vowing this time, for real.
00:33That he'll never let her tears fall again.
00:35But the moment his words land, Soonga chokes on another sob,
00:39nodding as more tears spill, and Kianu, half-aching, whispers,
00:43I told you to stop crying.
00:45So why are you crying even more?
00:47In the meantime, bound tightly for the protective ritual,
00:50Kianu reassures Soonga when she asks if he's okay.
00:53While the flower master lightens the mood until Soonga's spiritual mother
00:57questions her trust in the young boy.
00:59Prompting Soonga to react defensively.
01:02Accidentally breaking her grip and unleashing the spirit within him.
01:05Which only vanishes when she desperately grasps his hand again.
01:09Leading Kianu to apologize to her mother with quiet resolve.
01:13In the aftermath, Soonga's spiritual mother sternly insists
01:16they only hold hands and do nothing more.
01:19Leaving Soonga flustered and mumble in embarrassment.
01:22While the flower master playfully defends their innocence
01:24and urges her to get some sleep.
01:26And as the two elders depart,
01:28with one last pointed warning to Kianu to do nothing more than stare at the ceiling.
01:33He simply nods before the flower master
01:35gently ushers her out to prevent further fretting.
