Well, Bell did kidnap Syr from a certain POV & she had the time of her life. But man, the dialogue in this episode wasn't subtle. Especially in the church and when they were talking about the hero and Syr talking about her hero. Still, Syr running around while Bell was behind is like the person who is always at work 24/7. Then they finally get a break from it all and are just beyond happy. I feel like Syr knows that this is temporarily and the Freya Family will catch up to them. But she still wants to enjoy it while she can.
At first glance, the story of the Knight, Spirit & Saint would have you thinking it would be comparing their situation to Bell, Ryu & Syr. Though I don't think it is that simple. At the very least, it feels like the Spirit represents Syr. Though given that something will go down, it is not far-fetched to think Syr would protect Bell.
Though you can feel that this story is significant to Bell to keep the one they cherish safe. We saw this with Wiene & Ryu in the previous 2 seasons. If that happened to Syr we all know what Bell would do. Though Syr asking Bell what he would do if she went crazy. Literally putting her in the position of Saint. Feels like shyt might start going down by as soon as next episode.
I am curious how the Hestia Family and the Tavern Waitresses knew that Bell would be on the cruise. Ais really is one of the more pure characters in this show. She didn't even care about hiding. She knew that they were out to hunt Bell.
It definitely Syr believes that Bell can be a hero to match up to Sir Albert. Essentially, he becomes the final hero. Along with that, she wants Bell to be her hero. The tone in that scene, like last week, did a fantastic job at setting the serious tone. Although quite the switch tone for the final scene and Bell will be a nervous wreck at the start of the next episode.
