RayAnna

RayAnna is the het ship between Ray and Anna from the The Promised Neverland fandom.

Canon
Shortly after escaping beyond the wall, Ray approaches Anna and apologizes for what happened to her hair. Anna surprises him by dismissing any need for him to apologize, and instead wishes him a happy birthday. Later on, Ray thanks Anna for her efforts during the preparations.

Ray seems very excited that Anna gave up her braid for him to know how much she cared about her hair.

Ray tells Emma that he apologized to Anna for her hair and says it with a sweet smile that he doesn't give to anyone very often.

Manga
Ray appears visibly shocked when Anna announces her intent to participate in raiding a factory farm. His worry is later commented on by Oliver, who suggests that Ray should join the group. Ray joined them and spent their trip bringing up the rear. While crawling through a sewer pipe at the factory farm, Anna stumbled but Ray managed to catch her from falling. Later, when Anna is discovered by a patrolling demon, Ray saved her by pushing her out of the way and killed the demon.

Between chapter 116-117 we can see how much Anna cares about Ray.
