In our last episode, Renchant Pel Nil discovers that Tatyana has engaged the hotel staff in preparing for an engagement signing celebration and anxious to not be tied down considers fleeing through the open window of the hotel’s second story window into the snow. But instead, he stands his ground, and he and Tatyana have a serious discussion about marriage, the nature of happiness and the freedom to choose. Renchant relives a poignant childhood moment and shares with Tatyana the despair and loss he felt when his father, who had beat Renchant as a child, fled in fear when Renchant’s magic erupted to protect the young boy. Renchant learns more about devotion and love and its connection to happiness and agrees to go down to the signing ceremony.
