Katrina readied herself. No matter what, she would be grateful for this night, as she had been for every other. She had her music, she had tasted Astrid’s wonderful breakfasts, she had a violin named Aubergine.
The message seems to be that Katrina is willing and ready to damn her soul because she's trans. Like each day shes surprised to have survived and life has been cruel, so the fatigue and reservation of her mortality underlined and spurred by her identity has made her complacent in this deal… and almost like she's doing it for Shizuka bc she's grateful for everything even though every favor, action, and hospitality was manipulative and insidious in intention
