I think it was about this time when I started to think of the possibility between Mouki and Karyo Ten. Unlike Shin, who does help her do better, Mouki is the one who realises when she's at her breaking point. I think Mouki is someone who can keep up with Ten, more than Shin, really - even with the other scenes in the future. But ah, we shall see.
On another note, Sei is really such a good king. 😭
