The way Wolf resolved the situation with Emilia and Tobias, by inviting Dahlia out, felt strange and unnatural to me. Tit-for-tat, I suppose. It did show how Wolf was immediately able to see the twisted game that Emilia was playing and was also immediately able to resolve it, while still getting implicit consent from Dahlia in the process.
And then the follow-up scene where they both geek out about magic tools, establishing that their personalities match quite well.
Oof, the sentimental part at the end hit me. 🥲 Watching again, I think the animators did an excellent job of displaying the emotions here, despite feeling like the animation has a tight budget.
Also, is that meat-wrapped fruit that I spot? I know this is a fantasy world, but even fantasy has its limits... (Allegedly Italians eat melon wrapped with prosciutto, but I refuse to believe this.)
