Casti and Kay spend time together in the library, where Casti is nervous about Valentine’s Day coming up. She shows Kay some of her drawings, many of which featured Kay in various playful and fun scenarios. Kay teases Casti a little but ultimately expresses appreciation for the artwork. As they continue talking, Casti opens up about how much Kay’s friendship means to her, admitting that it had helped her feel more grounded and at ease. Kay, in return, shares that she had been struggling with self-image and felt empowered by seeing herself through Casti’s eyes. Their conversation deepens, with both acknowledging their vulnerabilities and how much they relied on each other. However, the moment gets too intimate and, not learning her lesson from Pearl, Casti kisses Kay. The both are freaked out and live to instantly regret it.
