Axel: She is a friend and sometimes a partner in my work. That's all.

Axel: I know her true name, which gives me way too much power over her to be OK with any kind of relationship.

Axel: That power also cannot be revoked without death, and I don't mean kinda dead.

Demoness: The "Darklord" does not tolerate extreme power dynamics in relationships!

Axel: Come on, stop pre3tening it's just me. You're like family– and don't starat calling me step-bro again!

Demoness: Pfft! It's true, we really aren't a thing. I just love teasing my "Little Brother" regardless.

Yuki: Well! Can I borrow your demon sister to help me– move in?

Axel: Wh&ndas; Why are you asking me? Ask her.

Yuki: It's been a long time, but it used to be tradit&nash;

Axel: Please stop.

Yuki: Oooh. I get why she likes teasing you.

Demoness: Right?!
