[Just like Dokja, just like Abel. They're willing to take anything upon themselves, any scorn, any curse, any accusation, any damnation, any abuse, any violence. Takes one to know one.
But what drives them forward is others. What makes them Pleroma is that they have people important to them they don't want to let down, cannot let down. Suppose that's why she stands in opposition to them. All 'Ciel' has left is the specters of her own sins. That's what gives them strength and makes them weak, laughably easy to manipulate when the right strings are pulled. Threaten to harm the people closest to them, and they fold instantly.
He understands the message. He understands his position. He understands he can't just charge in halfcocked, not for his own sake, but for the sake of those around him. He understands there's no reasoning with his enemies, not this monster who stands before him. And with that, this lesson is complete. She will not bring him anything else or attempt to start another conversation. He can go see for himself how Eleanor is faring once he finds a way out of this, but no sooner. This is simply something he is better off learning sooner rather than later, and it is now soundly imparted onto him.
Behave, save his strength. He already knows how things will go if he tries retaliating in front of her again. But her shift will not last forever, she wasn't watching him from the very start. Just like how she came, she will also eventually leave, he needs to learn patience and how to bide his time.
Let the rest of this night be spent learning about that, then. He's still got a long way to go, after all.]
