[This is so funny to him, like, even being dumb as bricks about things sometimes. He is very emotional. So he really wouldn't have any trouble considering them friends outside of like... not telling Ryo he had friends here because Ryo is unhinged, but nevermind that........]
We're friends.
It'll be okay, Gideon. Let's see how the party goes. They keep telling me that, the demons. I trust them. [Most of them.] So let's see what happens. It might not be as bad as you think. I can't decide until I know everything. [He searches her face.] You won't lose me.
[she knows it's easy for him - that's why she wants to tell him this, because it isn't for her. the fact that it feels natural to call him her friend means something more than she thinks he gets.
her lips twist a little at the end of what he says, but.]
Don't pat my ass about it. I don't want you to reassure me, I just want you to know you're important.

We're friends. [she says, looking at him.] Me and you. I can just say that. Like, easy, because I know it's true.
[she has literally never had a person in her life that she has known this with, before.]
So - so I want you to do what you want to do. [even if it makes her desperately sad to think she might never see him again.] Whatever it is.

I'm glad I got to meet you, Gideon. Uh--this isn't goodbye. I just wanted to tell you. I think you're pretty amazing. You'd definitely be a Devilman.

I'll take that as a compliment. [she says, vaguely amused.]

It is. All the strengths of a demon, but you keep your heart.

Like you, right?
