To make them believe that they are truly with bait. The fresh local honey will be the decoy, the potion will disguise as a honey drink given by the bait. Alstroemeria is a flower that she will blend because it means love and strength. Forget-Me-Nots as the sign of not forgetting that they are trapped without them realizing it. While the Red Dahlia represents the power that the potion holds and Rhododendrons symbolizes that the bait is in danger, a danger they never knew and will never escape unless they were given the antidote.

Dahlia's POV I'm so grateful Dai was at the club to help me, I don't know what I would have done if he wasn't there. I'm admiring the view of the city from his beautiful living room when he returns with our drinks and invites me to join him.

If I’m being honest, I initially liked their pairing, but as Dahlia’s powers grew, she became a little bit power hungry. Her goal is to be Dante’s Queen and rule over the North American Kingdom by my brother’s side but he won’t have it. She claims to love him, but the power attracts her more.
