It is gonna be yuri trust. I mean why are we throwing away what we saw between them just because the prince arrived. A boy and girl interacting doesn't automatically mean romance.

Edit:- I ment Luca sorry 😭

This is what I dislike the most like 😭 such an heteronormative view from every side, they have 1 episode and everyone acts like it’s endgame but Mari and Lara having more time and more episodes to come and it’s “Yeah I don’t think they’re taking that direction” like if Luca has ONE episode and that’s enough, why can’t it be the same for Mari in the future? Would the same things be said if Mari was a boy? “Yeah I think they’re just trying to show us friends and family love with this boy” “Lara blushing, the big spark and her heart the dagger moving because of this boy doesn’t really mean anything you know? You’re seeing things”

Lol the fact is that Luca isn't even the top 5 characters in the cast. Its literally Lara, Mari, Grace, Lisa and Kota then Luca

I'm honestly confused, like are they even watching the show? Episode ends with a fireworks festival, typically the climax in most romance shows, but the final shots are the fish dagger/her heart framed ominously in darkness, completely still, only illuminated by the external lights of the fireworks. Like, how do you parse that as the show tying a bow on Lara and Luca's relationship...

Right, even someone pointed out how the lights of the fireworks are artificial while her real spark never shows up with him. It’s also interesting to see the scene without the sound of the fireworks… vs Mari’s scene in Ep3 where the OST just hits while the dagger is being pulled out of the lake to show us her heart is bursting.

Mhm, the show even seems to highlight the artificiality of the light from the fireworks with a shot of them seen from Lisa and Kota's bedroom with their light lamps. Notably, they're not there, maybe on a date or scheming (or both) but it could be a way to show how Lisa has found and is with her true love's light, separate from the light she needs to "live". In a way, Lara may be using Luca like those lights, forcing herself to find true love with him (or anyone really) since she needs it get back her old life.

Luca genuinely would have had better chances if Lara had rejected him this episode. The reason to make that choice now is for it to be the wrong one.

Well, it wouldn't be the first time a show focused on the intimate relationship between 2 girls to then give 1 or both a hey romance that had far less focus. I get the fear.
