** She even seems to actually care for Maou and Alciel's well being; she asks if Alciel is okay after the mall cave-in, and she seems very distressed when Maou [[spoiler:is shot through the chest]]. Plus, she doesn't kill them when she has the opportunity to. She is actively going against her training, experiences, "destiny" and longstanding core biases against them and listening to her better judgment as a human being, realizing that those two are no longer the monsters they were. Her constant snark, irritability and hotheadedness seem to stem from her constant efforts to avert a lifetime of experiences that are now contradicted by her present environment. If words concerning her supposed "destiny" are more than rhetoric and hold weight, then she's fighting against fate itself.

* Lucifer of all people gets one in Episode 12 when he betrays Olba, prompting Olba to ask him what happened to wanting to return in Heaven. Lucifer's reply?
