Man, today's TanPre ep was excellent as well. Like, I could see the Luluka/Kurea dynamic hints here being like, couple different routes:
One, Luluka was making her own investigation on whether Kurea might be Eclair.
Two, Kurea's dad talking about memories got Luluka emotional due to her former partner having lost her memories, so she felt conflicted about stealing the photo filled with such memories.
Three... Luluka knows exactly who Kurea is.
We got one more answer in this episode at least: Luluka is strongly hinted to have joined the Phantom Thief Guild to retrieve Eclair's lost Makoto Jewel. Usonoir has it in his possession and appears to know that is Luluka's goal all along!
Like, god damn. This honestly explains a lot.
Also, today was the very first time Luluka personally said "Lie lie, sir". I feel like that's a big turning point for her.
Oh, also, we learned Kurea is 16 years old. I believe Eclair's been marketed as adult-like? So I wonder what that means exactly.
But yeh. Big episode. Great Luluka focus and even more focus on white lillies.
