[When she thinks about Javert further, he is far from happy, even with an allegiance like this that confers such power. With Atem, who felt unsafe and unhappy regardless...she wonders how much of a balm it is, having that fog embracing his neck, forever there until the Fog herself takes it away.
Trish listens, her gaze drifting to the stoic, canine face that reminds her a little of Mukuro, although Atem has always had better posture.
It would be equally galling and heartening to know Atem remembers the little things and big things both that affect her, morbid details of injury and indescribable pain left carefully aside. But she knows she's only getting a fraction of context, and she pulls the weight for this scenario from the fact Atem hasn't felt safe, and wanted power to protect himself. And then this world proved he needed it, but it's also the one who made this world the way it was who gave him this power, right?
The idea makes her sick. She could spit on the Fog, for all the good it would do.
Still, she's thinking about Atem's estimation. He paid a price for this safety, and he knew that going in. It's not perfect, but it works.]
