In Episode 7 of Zenshuu, the conflicts surrounding Natsuko's influence on A Tale of Perishing intensify. The mysterious bird, revealed to be the reincarnated director Tsuruyama Kamataro, warns her again: despite her changes, Luke's death remains inevitable. Meanwhile, Luke confesses his love to Natsuko three times at the well—an overwhelming experience for her, as she had only ever known romance as an artistic concept. At Justice's urging, he eventually invites her on a date to a desert oasis, where their relaxed conversation is abruptly interrupted by an attacking "Void" monster.
Natsuko summons a mecha-like combat device, but for the first time, she does not draw it out of calculated necessity but out of concern for Luke. During the battle, in which Luke defeats the monster, she realizes that he is not a drawn character but a real human with scars and emotions. In a dazed state after the fight, her gaze falls on the shirtless Luke, triggering her first romantic "squee"—a break from her previous emotional detachment. This experience strengthens her resolve to no longer accept Tsuruyama's dark original ending and marks a turning point in her relationship with Luke and her mission.
