• Psykos is unconcerned that the Monster Association may be destroyed: she has moved beyond caring about it and has already had Dr. Genus preserve cells from its Dragon-Level monsters for weapons.

Emilia moves from curious disbelief to delight at being fed, then panic when she thinks Lin Luo has sinister intentions. Even after learning the truth, she remains wary of the lifelong commitment and begins to resist.
