Aram, in this ep, is essentially on his 'own' now. Following the tragedy from the previous episode and what happened to Yuri, Aram was to fend for himself now given the circumstances, alongside the ones who were left with him. That essentially gives Aram the breakthrough to walk his own path despite essentially following Yuri's 'light' that had been left behind. This is also where Shuza's acknowledgement of Aram solidifies, while Aram becomes the 'second coming' of hope. All of that comes down to the fact that Aram's growth, which had been building up over the past episodes, is now being put to active use as the plot progresses.
