In _Requiem for the Phantom_ (episode 3, ~6:30), the Scythe Master puts some
kind of oil or lube on Ein's body. Why would he put lube on her body?

Why did Scythe Master put lube on Ein?


It is symbolic. In this scene, he is cleaning his weapons. In Gusseppie's
mind, Ein is not human, she is a weapon. An inanimate object, and in the same
way he cares for is ruger, he cares for Ein. While I don't think he was
literally rubbing her down in weapons lubricant or copper solvent, I believe
the intent was the same.
