        I mean at a subconscious level, they have feelings for each other – a good chunk of the show is them dancing around that concept. That being said, all they both know is that it’s a marriage of convenience – neither knows the full identity of the other.

        Yor constantly worries she won’t measure up to Loid’s needs, and that’s a risk to government scrutiny by the secret police. Loid worries his relationship with Yor doesn’t look airtight, and could compromise Operation Strix. Everything they do publicly to prove their relationship is legit is an act in which any enjoyment is a secondary benefit (like the scene above).
