Soul-Searching Questions

"Are you speaking up for that woman?" Angewomon asked indignantly, clearly disagreeing with her.

In her eyes, Bibi Dong was the embodiment of malice, evil enough to be mentioned in the same breath as LadyDevimon.

In any case, that had always been her view of Bibi Dong. A few words would not be enough to change her mind.
