Truthfully, there was next to nothing Power could do that would bother her in the slightest. Denji was already too wound up in this little pack of his that Power, regardless of whether she dies before Makima had planned, would have an unspeakable effect on his psyche. So Makima was willing to turn a blind eye to a blatant lie to her superior - she was, above all else, merciful.
Power was unlucky to have met her.
❝ Is that so? Could it be that living with Denji and Aki has... domesticated you, Power? ❞ Taming a wild thing was quite the feat for someone who was not her. But it wasn’t enough. More than domestication, Power needed fear. Fear that Makima was happy to provide.
She raised a brow, staring down at the fiend. ❝ But, one has to question how much of a ‘good girl’ you’ve truly been. Do you think that being ‘good’ is the mere absence of ‘bad’? Well-behaved, perhaps, but that isn’t going to work with the higher-ups if I report I let you out. ❞
