Episode 11 | “Don’t you want me?”
BEWARE OF WHAT YOU WISH FOR. I got my love-making scene.
This is the one you’ve been waiting for folks. I actually couldn’t physically gif this for a good few hours because my brain literally stopped functioning every time I watched this for more than 3 seconds.
This is everything that I wanted. Tender, soulful, sweet, beautiful love-making between two people now in love. The reverence in which they gaze at each other. The fact that they are taking their time to discover one another all over again. This gave me literal goosebumps.

And while the full truth about his ki*llers remains shrouded in mystery, his eerie prediction was at least partially correct.
