EPISODE CONTEXT

Following the premise-setting pilot that locked Keima and Elsie into their soul-capturing contract, this second episode begins the show's episodic conquest structure in earnest, introducing the first real target and establishing the rhythm the season will follow. It deepens the Keima-Elsie dynamic from reluctant strangers to something resembling an operational partnership. With ten episodes still ahead, this is foundational groundwork — setting expectations for how each new conquest will test Keima's gaming instincts against genuine human complexity.
