S1 Ep 4
While crawling into the worm's tunnel:
Having been secretly instructed by the Director, Meryl was ambushed twice by Nick and Vash, jump scaring the crap out of her.
It served the purpose of getting her into quite a terrified state, and it perfectly showed up on camera.
The third time, it was Nai and she full on slaps him in the face.
Horrified, she exclaimes, "What the fuck!? Oh my god, Nai, I'm so sorry! What are you even doing here?"
He's glad the redness hides his blush because he found the sting... vaguely intriguing.
Later that night he ponders what happened, surrounded by his beetroot jar collection; and realises Meryl's slap was also... kinda hot.
