Episode 40 begins to show that Syaoran, Sakura's rival for ownership of the Clow Cards, is beginning to fall for her. This becomes very apparent during Syaoran's dream later in the episode. At this point in the series, Syaoran's betrothed, Meilin, is clueless to this new development and still dreams of one day marrying him.

This cel came up for auction while I was at Anime Expo in 2011. I was rather surprised to have won it, especially as I was not around a computer for much of the convention.

From Episode 40 - Sakura to Yume no Naka no Sakura (Sakura and the Sakura from the Dream).
