Makima adjusted the tie to her Public Safety uniform, smiling at her image in the mirror.

Today was a new day.

She went about her morning at a somewhat leisurely pace. What would she have to rush for? She'd be meeting him sooner enough. She brewed herself a modest cup of coffee and some toast before she tidied herself a final time to make her departure. She stood at the door, using a lint roller to remove any dog hair that clung to her uniform. Finally, she departed, clutching the hand of her newest dog in hers.

Makima slowly led Denji down the hall, towards a line of figures kneeling on the right side of the hallway.

"Seraphim." 

Makima spoke, referring to an insectoid devil with an insect-esque head and wings.

"Beam."

Beam didn't move as Makima mentioned his name. His body was broken in uncountable places, and bloody bruises lined his entire body. Makima hadn't bothered to heal him after the battle with (Y/N).

"Galgali."

Violence, still in his hulked-out form, was just as mangled as Beam. Despite this, he still kneeled silently, nothing but a puppet in his current state.

"Dominion."

Makima referred to a four-eyed fiend resembling some sort of mammal. They had four eyes and four ears, two of said ears protruding from the top of their head.

"Virtue."

Makima said, referring to a fiend/devil with no head, only a stump where their neck should have begun. Their hands and feet only had two pointed digits.

"Power."

...

...

...

"Wherever she is..." Makima muttered, gesturing to an empty spot in the line of devils and not-devils.

"Prinz." 

Makima added, referring to the limbless body of Prinz, who lay equally lifeless as all the others.

"Angel."

Makima spoke of the penultimate member of the line of kneeling figures, Angel, who didn't move an inch as they passed him by.

"Finally..." Makima stopped to look at the last member.

"Big brother..."

Makima stared at (Y/N)'s severed head and legs, a look of contempt on her face. Her face settled, and she continued her walk past the line of slaves. 

"Excluding him, all the others are your followers." Makima explained to the unresponsive Denji. "Their beliefs differed from mine, but they all put their lives on the line and fought to protect you." Makima explained. "They've all waited for this day..."

"The day of ressurec-"

BOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!

An explosion rocked the section of the building where Makima was located, obliterating part of it as it was lit up in a flash of orange flames.

Two soldiers, geared in military-grade body armor, sat on the building across from the one containing Makima. One lowered a rocket launcher, while the other still gazed at Makima's location with a set of binoculars.

"Direct hit!" The soldier with the binoculars said into a mic.

-

"Roger." Kishibe, located nearby, acknowledged the announcement.
