Great episode! So once again, this title refers to a solo song from the same album as the last one. This song is by the member, Jimin, whose character is Haru in the story. There has never been a full explanation of this song, but in the context of the album and its relation to the book ‘Demian’, the song is about falling into temptation and getting caught in the lies of it. He sings about wanting to be saved and brought back to when he was ‘pure’. The short film that was released with this song almost completely artistically mirrors the scene of Haru at the counselor’s office, him telling the "counselor" that he doesn’t remember anything or understand what is being asked, only to smile right afterwards. This song can definitely relate to Haru’s story and the trauma he experiences about what he witnessed, wanting to pretend it never happened and just being brought back to when he was ‘pure’ of those experiences. It also relates to Hwan and Jeha specifically with them kinda being trapped in this facade of living a 'perfect life' with a 'perfect family'. For Haru's case, it was a little boy he saw. The news article mentions a "12-year-old boy named Choi who went missing" and that "no witnesses found." It's heartbreaking that Haru's parents have basically forced him to keep this a secret, which has only made him mentally struggle more and more. For the last scene, it was Hwan's father, Changjun, as a teenager. I think it was hinting at the idea that the principal may have purposefully left out the exam answers when he asked Hwan to "take care of the flowers" so he can help Hwan get good grades, and the flashback was showing that he did the same with Hwan's father.
