It's insane how raw this series is, completely unflinching in its portrayal of catholic guilt. Even something as 'titillating' as a self-care scene can be ripped apart like that at the end. I think this is only the third or fourth series that has made me so viscerally aware of a character's silent trauma that I felt ill myself.
This is how it's building up, but I really hope that, at the end of this series, Priest and Imuri meet each other in the middle. Both of them are touted as pinnacles of their kind (Priest an exorcist and Imuri a demon), but at the end of the day they're both people who deserve to experience both the positives (Imuri) and negatives (Priest) of life.
