## Description

Bond 2, 'Ebb and Flow,' is set during the Golden Seashell Festival. MC finds herself inside Mo Art Studio on Rafayel's island on an Ebb Day — the periodic Lemurian biological vulnerability during which he runs a fever, scales begin to surface on his skin, and he is at his physically weakest. He goads her provocatively, telling her to take advantage of him now that she can see him so exposed. It is a test and a taunt in equal measure. MC refuses the provocation and instead promises she will never hurt him. The sincerity lands. Completing this Bond story unlocks the 'Lemurian' title in the player's in-game profile, confirming it as the canonical moment of deepest trust-building in the early arc.
