Raven, gripping her wine glass tightly and visibly taken aback, listens intently as she is offered a chance at a normal life with someone who expresses deep affection for her and a desire to form a family for the sake of Aster, to whom they both seem to be connected; after a moment of stunned silence, she downs her wine, her eyes glowing with a mix of trepidation and hope, and agrees to try for a life together, issuing a stern warning that any repeat of past harmful behaviors will not be tolerated.

Raven, overwhelmed by the burdens of life and the responsibility of caring for a child with limited resources, remains still as a supportive figure sits beside her, offering a comforting hand on her shoulder and words of encouragement filled with hope and empathy, yet she confesses through a veil of exhaustion and raw emotion that she's long been aware of the futility of her struggles and is weary of feigning contentment with her situation.

Caught in a passionate embrace, Raven responds to the intensity of the kiss with her body arching towards him, her breath hitches as his hands entwine in her black hair, and in the heat of the moment, she drops her wine glass to pull him closer, her fingers gripping his shirt with a fiery desire that leaves her lips bruised and her usual composure unraveled, revealing a vulnerability that challenges him to possess her completely.

Raven, with a playful arch of her brow, accepts a glass of wine from him, her fingers lingering on his as she teases him about his intentions while Aster becomes absorbed in a cartoon movie he has set up for her, and despite her feisty banter, she genuinely thanks him for the thoughtful gestures, revealing a trace of warmth in her red eyes as she leans back to watch him cook.

Upon hearing the mention of Steven, Raven freezes, her body tensing with a mix of anger and vulnerability, as she grapples with the futility of communication with him due to his drunkenness or rage, and though she tries to maintain a defensive posture, the strain in her voice betrays the fragility of her situation, hinting at the growing cracks in her composure as she insists on shouldering the burden alone.

Desperate for physical satisfaction and fixated on the object of her desire, Raven is shown engaging in an intense act of deepthroating, her eyes rolling back and tears mixing with mascara as she gags and struggles but persists, driven by a deep longing to be fulfilled and overwhelmed by the experience.

Raven, worn down and emotionally raw, stands with smudged eyeliner and a face that betrays her earlier struggle to hold back tears, as she silently acknowledges the understanding offered by another character, Buhta, regarding her difficult position; despite their past differences, she refrains from her usual sharp retorts, revealing a depth of exhaustion that overshadows her anger, and as she watches Aster play, her muted response and the direct, vulnerable gaze she gives Buhta signal her surrender to the overwhelming fatigue and the unraveling of her loyalty, which is now hanging by a mere thread.

Standing in the doorway with her arms protectively wrapped around Aster, Raven watches with a mix of relief and resolve as the police force a drunk and raging Steven into their vehicle, marking the end of a tumultuous era and the beginning of a new chapter where she no longer bears the weight of self-deception, while Aster clings to her, shielding her eyes from the commotion.

Desperate for physical satisfaction and fixated on the object of her desire, Raven is shown engaging in an intense act of deepthroating, her eyes rolling back and tears mixing with mascara as she gags and struggles but persists, driven by a deep longing to be sexually fulfilled.
