When Mukuro spoke to Her... She didn't seem like the type of god to just disappear them at a whim. Komaeda hadn't done anything to earn her ire. Honestly, she's not even sure if he could; as far as Mukuro can tell, the Fog is very tolerant of Her children and all their shenanigans.
It makes her wonder. Mukuro's been trusting, but she knows she's stupid, knows she's easy to trick if her loyalty's won. And she's reminded of the betrayal, every time the Fog rolls in, as the weight of those jet-black spines settle along her back. Celeste... she's smart. She knows people, and he knows lying. She'd know better than Mukuro, probably, even from only one meeting. Right...?]
Do you--
[She pauses, unsure, nervous; her voice much too small to suit the black beast she's become. But she's always been a soft-hearted girl deep down, under the wolf mask. After a beat, a moment of nervous shifting, she tries again, unable to look up and meet the demon's eyes as she asks:]
She says - she does. But do you think - Sh-She really - loves us...?
