This was a special episode for Lev and Irina, being able to spend some quality time in town together.

It's too bad their day didn't turn out perfect after Irina got taken away. Just another one of those episodes to expect the unexpected.

Irina's farewell party that sees both her and Lev spend some time together, from watching propaganda movies to having a picnic together before the ice lake and watching the sky full of aurora.

Conspicuously, the romance segment between the two is akin to the normal human-vampire relationship of sucking blood, it was just so close before the departure. Lev didn't care, but Irina sure does because it will damage Lev's reputation.

The first human cosmonaut spaceflight selection is underway right at the heart of Sangrad between Lev and Mikhail, and everything must be documented down even if it's acting. The Comrade Secretary Lyudmila Halrova sure brings a stern but relaxing attitude, and gaining insight on her aptitude hopefully will help things for both Lev and Mikhail as the first hero of the Motherland.

Irina on the other hand, is technically confined at the Design Bureau for more research and tests until her usefulness comes around as a weapon for UZSR, and at least there's Anya to help console her. Not surprised at all that Lev is chosen as the hero, and the wishes now go the opposite from Lev to Irina.

While Lev is flying high, I'm legit concerned for Irina's fate now.

Both characters seem to be in a bit of trouble from what I can tell; Irina of course has always had the chance of being disposed of if she’s deemed no longer “useful” after the flight, and Lev is in danger as Mikhail knows if he hurts Lev then he gets to take his place. I’m not sure what direction they’ll go in though, in regards to if it’ll be a bad or good ending, but the way the series has felt so far I’m expecting a happy end

Oh, another wordplay with flower name, this time they went with "Ad astra" for Aster.

People theorising about Lev becoming a vampire, it's worst, he is in the slave phase.

Great episode! The date followed by the selection of Lev was handled beautifully!

Great episode! Irina sees a movie and loves it a lot. She even thinks it is real. Irina and Lev spend some nice time together and it seems Lev wants Irina to bite him in the neck so he can feel the sweet pain of her biting him again or something like that xD. Unfortunately we don't get to see that happening as Irina feels self conscious as she thinks Lev doesn't want to be seen with her by the bus driver. But of course we can't have a fully happy episode as Irina is taken away...


Looking forward to the next episode!

Lev and Irina's date! She's really excited by the sci-fi movie, shows how much she is fascinated by space (having been their herself).

Romantic picnic watching the aurora borealis. Lev longs for a bite on his neck from Irina (how many more bites until he becomes a Vampire?), but Irina is well aware they could be seen as the bus arrives.

Irina and Lev are both in Sangrad but it's as if they are in the two worlds, Lev is to be the next hero and the official first person in space (beating Mikhail). Irina is taken to the design bureau for experiments uncertain if her destiny is disposal or something else.

Mikhail is the backup for Lev (as is the norm for real-life spaceflight). I wonder if Mikhail would do something as petty as convince Lev that Irina was disposed of as to deplete his morale, allowing Mikhail to go to space first?

While I am delighted that Lev get's to fly, I am legit worried what is going to happen to Irina now... The things she said near the end doesn't look to be very promising. If only Lev actually knows about this...

Mannnn, I wanted for Irina to actually bite Lev's neck on his request.

Also, I am not going to be surprised if Mikhail will scheme something so Lev can't actually fly himself...

I wonder if when this whole rocket thing is over what will become of the two of them? Apparently Irina won't be eliminated (for now) and I don't think Lev will have a serious accident or anything like that on his mission, honestly in his place I would think of some way to escape that country with my beloved vampire of course

Each episode gets more and more beautiful each week. I just want happiness for both Irina and Lev please.

That blood sucking potential moment had me on edge im not going to lie.

I also shot up out of my chair after Lev was chosen. Could have sworn the President chose the other guy the way he pointed to those stacks of papers but I was PUMPED for Lev!

If anything happens to Irina I'll lose my mind.

After watching the Preview...I don't think Lev will go to Space...

Part A was all smiles but part B was really dispirited on Irina's side.
I'm not sure why but I felt really bad for Anya when she was chastised by the two officers.

I'm on the opposing side 'cause I feel that the good and happy ending is just around the corner.
I want to believe that the talk between Ludmila and the supreme leader wasn't shown just for nothing and that Irina can come out of this situation alive.

Good episode.

As Lev gets closer to his dream, it also means that Irina is getting closer to her potential death.

It will be interesting to see how the final 2 episodes go.

Good to see them spending time and they deserved that although it very short but sweet. I sure was expecting them to kiss but we were about to get Irina biting Lev in his nape which he wanted however bus kun came to spoil the party. Lucky Lev was selected and I feel so infuriated upon those two shoot bastard for their disrespect towards Irina. I also wonder if Mikhael the 2nd candidate will use underhand method to stop Lev so he can fly. It was heart wrenching to see how much Irina missed Lev, I hope they will reunite soon again.

Overal another galvanising episode, and next seems even more than that from the preview and title.

Man, Lev and Irina date was so beautiful, in fact, it was so beautiful that them being interrupted didn't bother me at all. Lev kinky as fuck though ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°), kiss? Nah, necc succ? Hell yeah!

Fuck those guards though, I know they're just doing their jobs, but slapping the ice creams made me mald.

Ludmila's pretty interesting, so she wants a change in the world, and Lev definitely more than fits the revolutionary description, with him punching superiors and all that, plus of course vampire waifu. Yeah, I hope they make Irina a revolutionary figure along with Lev, instead of you know, offing her.

As expected, Lev is going to space, hope he gets back safe. Really looking forward to the next episode.

I was worried that the second half of this season after the launch would be focused on a conflict regarding the disposing of the test subject, Irina. Don't want to jinx it, but thankfully it seems no one is preoccupied with getting rid of her. It's been mostly focused on Lev and preparing for HIS journey to space. I hope he doesn't mysteriously get injured in the next episode... again don't want to jinx it, but fingers crossed. Thankfully this show has been free of most of that kind of BS so far.

What jerks of guards though, sure reprimand them for running about freely, but you don't have to slap the ice cream out of her hand like that, sheesh!

Absolute masterpiece

A bit of a weird time skip from April 6th to April 11th there, I wonder if they cut something from the novel.

Lev has a vampire slave fetish now, oh well. Their relationship is quite wholesome.

From the episode preview it looks like Lev will have a bit of drama and hesitation, maybe an accident or anxiety, and Irina will have to run to him and say some nice words to pull him up. We'll see.

I bet Mikhail will try to sabotage Lev by telling him Irina was (or will soon be) executed. Lev will have a mental breakdown and fail. OR, he may instead harden his resolve and go to space for Irina's sake!

The moments between Irina and Lev were really sweet at the beginning, she's loving cinema xD too bad she couldn't bite his neck, but now of course Lev has been choose to be sent into space so it will only get harder and harder for Irina and Lev to be together, especially that they still want to get rid of Irina :/

Man, what a show!

With just 2 more eps to end this, I just want them to have a happy end, but all the heads are garbage, there's like 2/3 that can help them to get that happy end, but we'll see.

At the beginning, I felt this lady captain was a vampire herself, but looks like she's not.

GOD, NO! WHY?!
Oh, they were so close. In this series, a neck bite could very well be considered as the equivalent of a kiss on the lips. Oh, I was on the verge of my seat when... disappointment.

My, the ice cream... :c

The pupil contraction shot was a nice one I guess the studio wanted to show off.

"If Lev is unable to, you will fly instead". God, that reeks of sabotage. It's plain obvious...

My mind after seeing they weren't gonna kiss was like: Wait, what? Why would he want her to bite hi-... I get it.
And that hug man, my heart can't take it.

Irina singing while allucinating with Lev, I loved that. She's madly in love.
Why'd he have to hit her ice creams? I get that they have to protect Lev at all costs, but that was just mean.

"If Lev can't do it, then you'll fly instead." Great, now I fear for both Irina and Lev's lives.

In ussr an individual is just a means to an end.

Irina will not be disposed of but used instead for another purpose. A revolutionary plan.

She's so in love with Lev, seeing him when looking at the stars.

Damn cockblock bus. I knew they would get interrupted when Irina was so slow at closing in on Lev's neck. Always disliked this trope.

Some conspiring forces behind the scenes, planning nothing saintly when it comes to Irina. Lev got chosen over Mikhail, but I'm not sure if Mikhail will opt for sabotaging Lev's chances or not. He hasn't demonstrated to be quite that overtly malicious yet, but then again, neither had Franz. It's definitely within the realm of possibility, considering how scar guy specifically informed him about a scenario where Lev would be "unable to" fly.
