It's almost too bad Pyrrha has so many claims on her loyalty already, but Chrollo doesn't know how ruthless she can be. Her moral compass seems to point towards doing good for everyone. He suspects she can do terrible things if needed, but probably wouldn't let the world burn for the sake of a smaller number of people. Unlike Sharon, he doesn't think she'll reach that point even if he pushes.

He understands the tone of missing friends clearly, because his own are all absent. Chrollo considers inquiring about how much more intense she is with her husband, but that topic has all the hallmarks of an emotional landmine. Whatever caused Duty and Pyrrha to be one person was probably not pleasant. She's left Sarasa alone, so he'll avoid bringing up the husband.

"This almost seems like something you'd see on a reality show," Chrollo says as he starts pulling out spices with one hand and setting them down where Pyrrha's one hand can reach them.

"Fear is an interesting thing. People use it too often when something more measured would do, but emotions don't listen to logic very often." Chrollo acts out of caution, but he knows what real fear feels like. He hasn't felt it very often since he truly came to understand it.
