"When an essential [penis] comes along, you'll know." (3.36)
Brimstone equates sex with love, as in, Karou should wait for her one true love before she gives up her virginity. Later, we learn that the chimaera aren't puritanical about sex. Why does Brimstone have these values, while other chimaera do not?
