Kyouka explains that the reward – it’s not just a promise. To “give” the reward of sleeping together, she must make Yuuki feel deeply pleased .

They lie side by side. Kyouka talks a little about her past: how she became Chief, her drive to protect humanity, and her fear of losing comrades. Yuuki listens quietly. In the manga, the reward system has a… unique execution method. The anime adapts it faithfully but tastefully.

This leads to a where Kyouka appears in a more intimate setting (nondescript white void, no nudity in the anime version). She caresses his head, hugs him, and whispers gratitude.

She sighs, then invites him onto the bed – strictly non-romantic, she says, but she doesn’t want him uncomfortable.
