The hug shared by two yearners!

The relief and contentment on Malthus' face; the way he looks like he has let out the breath that he's been holding back as he inhales the scent of Hilda—like his body's survival relies on breathing in her presence. And this is also paired with the initial shock on Hilda's end? The way her expression went from pure happiness and surprise that the saint came to her room, before contorting to a cry of relief as she was, yet again, assured that Malthus does indeed love her.

Then not even a few minutes later, Malthus says that he wanted to see her place—expressing his desire to know her more; to see Hilda's room not as a man that lines up to wait their turn, not as a saint of the conservative society that wants to chastise her, and not as a colonel that flashes her with gifts, but someone that wants to see the decorations of Hilda's sanctuary that wholly paints her. It was the moment that he found out about her favorite music box—one that she got when she was 15—and her love for jewelry and perfume

Definitely one of their most intimate scenes when you consider that this was the first time that Malthus willingly chose to be with her, and Hilda's first experience of a man coming inside her room with the purest intentions, even if it was to say good bye; even if it may be their last, he only longed to spend time with her.

I recall being disappointed that the Hilda/Malthus Bondage dub-con sex scene was only in Malthus's imagination but thinking back I think it’s important that Hilda and Malthus’ first sex scene happens the way it does as one of the main themes of that relationship of humanity and what it means to be human. Through the show Malthus’s image of Hilda as something between an angel and demon is deconstructed for him to see her as a human like him, flawed and whole, and as Hilda slowly discards her clothes that’s what she lets Malthus see. At the same time, Hilda does brings Malthus lower like he says, but not to hell or sin, to the humanity his status as a saint has denied him of, and the disconnect from his own humanity means disconnect from humanity at whole; it is through Hilda’s touch that he is first feels his human flesh, and once he sees her, he isn’t passive like in his imagination but grasping at her, grasping for that burning sensation her touch gave him before

Armand having a soft spot for children will always make me cry. Considering his horrendous childhood, it makes sense, but it would also make sense for him to be cruel to them, but his soft side and compassion makes him be as kind as he can to little humans who have done no wrong. Daniel unknowingly was definitely also a big help in bringing out the softness in the gremlin
