It’s so nice to see Abeille bonding with her dad. I can’t wait to see where this goes!
Watching them wander around in shirt sleeves while everyone else is in winter coats, lol.
Just noticed she’s still in her uniform. Did not enough time pass for her to change? I was about to say does she not have other clothes, but we’ve seen her in many cute outfits, so she does.
I believe this is the evening that she got fired and went right to her mom after she left Miel.
You know, I can kinda believe it though in a way lol. As someone who moved from Missouri to Texas a few years back I can tell ya, all my native Texan friends have a much lower tolerance to cold lol. I’ll be out in my shorts in high 60’s-low 70’s and they always ask if I’m cold lol. Likewise, I’m much more sensitive to the heat than them. They’re all like “Ah man, this 90 degree weather is GREAT, absolutely beautiful day!” meanwhile I’m a puddle of goo on the sidewalk.
So in a way, I could totally see people like Abeille and her dad, who are used to extreme cold, not being too bothered by an ice rink’s temperature.
Yeah! I also took it as a neat nod to their tolerance for cold (just as Abeille [heat exhaustion at the running event], her dad [sweating and fanning himself when he first arrived], and her mom [complaining when they first arrived] all showed that the normal Monotropa weather is on the hot side for them).
More than being used to the cold, I believe the inhabitants of Pasque (Abeille’s home planet) have had thermogenesis done in order to survive with the cold. 🙂
yep, that’s been established relatively early
that’s why Abeille wears so little and is hot all the time
Abeille is so adorable, hugging her skates and enjoying being with her dad!
I love how HAPPY Abeille is in this episode. Good to see some joy on her face.
There’s a page on a wiki:

Let me know if you are unhappy with the page or the content. The wiki is meant to be edited by readers.
Thanks, Kenned! In this case, Mel is short for Melinda 😀 It is ‘honey/sweetness’ from Latin derivatives, and of course ‘my pretty’ in Spanish. For the flower bit, ‘hemerocallis’ is called ‘My Melinda’, which is a type of day lily
Thanks! I’ve updated the page.
I added the flower to the Flora page: https://lovenotfound-fans.fandom.com/wiki/Flora#Hemerocallis
Can’t wait for dad to ruin it by trying to follow Amarylis’ orders…
Mixed feelings about this. Is he genuine or clueless?
I hope he’s genuine and really trying to make a connection with his daughter, whisking her away from Amaryllis because he knows what his wife is like.
But he could still be clueless…. Or worse, part of Amaryllis’s manipulation. The fact that he brought her to a place which might remind her of their previous home is worrying. I am suspicious.
But surely Abielle knows her father – the look of joy on her face suggests to me that she believes that this is genuine. I am hopeful…..
I think he is genuine. He wants to make her happy. Amaryllis has put pressure on Mallow TO manipulate her, but honestly….I don’t know if Mallow could manipulate out of a brown paper bag. I feel like any manipulation that is achieved *through* Mallow is still ultimately just Amaryllis manipulating events.
^ this. I so want this to be a happy moment, a nice memory for when Amaryllis and her dad leave the planet, without her. But you’re right, there is a chance he will try and convenience Abeille to come home because he is too far gone by Amaryllis’ manipulations and in too deep to be saved.
I really hope this goes well and is just a nice time for them to chat, bond, and for Abeille to make her dad understand that 1. I am staying here 2. I love Miel and am staying with him & 3. I am done with mum’s BS. *crosses fingers*
Page 23 showed him giving oblique responses to Amaryllis. That seems typical, from what we’ve seen. He is usually attempting to moderate.
What do you do when you can predict that directly confronting your partner, won’t work? If you love your partner and your daughter, it’s not an easy thing.
Whatever his intentions, he can still act in a way that isn’t best for Abeille’s welfare. I doubt he has a directly manipulative scheme in mind.
Congrats to Kita and Mel on your promotion to customer service on Monotropa!
Like Blue, I wondered about Abeille still wearing the Eyebright uniform, and I’m not sure why she’d’a gone straight to her folks’ place. She has had a *helluva* day, I can see the impetus to confront her mum, but after the affirmation she felt with Miel earlier? Was her confidence just a front for Miel’s sake?
Doesn’t it make you want to move back home and under your mother’s direct abuse again? Don’t you miss that?
Do the residents of Monotropa find ice skating easy and fun, or difficult, because they only get to do it once a year?
