Initially, Theo is irritated by Lilith's unconventional approach, but he becomes fascinated by her boxing skills and the intensity she brings to the ring. Her performance challenges Theo's initial impressions and draws him to her in a new way. As Theo and Lilith's paths continue to cross, Theo begins to see beyond Lilith's exterior. Her passion and strength in the ring reveal a side of her that Theo hadn't noticed before. This growing connection complicates the existing dynamics, especially with Vivienne, who remains unaware of her sister's hidden talents and struggles.
