“The Flowers of Evil” Episode 3 Recap

Even the morning sun that equally shines on all creation
Has forsaken my soul.
Not even a ray of light comes to this abyss,
Where suspicion and deception whirls like a spell,
Where sorrowful ghosts, like melancholic executors
Silently invite me toward the guillotine of black luster.
Oh, pure maiden, praying without moving about,
In the moment of the ruthless farewell,
I will only beg for your pity, my dear.
(from the official episode guide)

“I must be a pervert, too” - She laughs as she bends over Takao, after putting Saeki’s gym clothes on him against his will, the gym clothes that he stole.

Under the contract Nakamura arbitrarily made with Takao, Nakamura drags him to the empty riverside after school.

At first, Takao couldn’t understand Nakamura’s motives, but feeling locked up in that little town, he later identifies with her words, “This whole world should turn into kusomushi within this gloominess inside me.”

To resonate with his sprouting ego and his “I am unlike other people” self-consciousness, which is also a kind of passage rite for adolescence, Nakamura appears before Takao. What will she bring him?... As Takao, thanks to Nakamura, gradually bares the desires in his heart, his conceit grows bigger, along with his willingness for crime.
