Even in the heat of the moment, I really cannot believe that Sheryl would have sex with the person she loved (or anyone else for that matter.) knowing that it could be a death sentence for them as well as her. If nothing else, we've seen Sheryl grow beyond mere disengagement for the safety of others to active participation in the safety of those around her... this is further bolstered by this episode. Engaging in risky behavior, even in this situation is antithetical for her.
I've watched and re-watched the pan up and see where people feel there was a kiss there, and if >I< were Alto, I might have kissed her... BUT if you can feel that the pan up was to imply goings-on, it could equally have hidden a LACK of goings-on too. I've also rewatched over and over, the following shot of Alto on the porch and see no indication of redress, metaphorical elements in the shot, or really any difference in Alto, except that he has his boots back on... SO I don't know what other post coital implication could be there... Plus, assuming they DID kiss, No matter how steamy and emotional, it doesn't automatically follow that copulation must have occurred.
True enough about the eyes of the beholder... But IMO The Sheryl colored glasses being worn by some are leading to conclusions not consistent with the character, or the past arguments of those leveling the suggestions. Perhaps a round of cold showers is in order...   |
First off, we donīt know that the V-Type disease is sexually transmitted. Yeah, bodily fluids, blablabla... we all automatically associate it with AIDS, therefore sex = bad. But that was never stated on the show.
Sheryl just saw a detailed report on her condition when she talked to Leon and Luca. So *maybe* she went for it, because she knew that she couldnīt infect Alto that way.
Alto and Sheryl at least kissed, donīt kid yourself, Mughi.
As for the afterwards scene, for what itīs worth someone on RC posted a very detailed close-up of Alto after the kiss/sex scene. He claims that Alto wears Sheryls top under his jacket, so judge for yourself:
