[Is he lying to her? Did Smile lie to her? Who lied?]
[Logic says she should trust the one who cares about her, looked after her, raised her-- and question the word of a boy she'd just met who lied to them all right out of the gate. But he'd seemed so tired, so resigned when he announced he'd killed everyone she loved. She had to wonder what the point of lying to her right then would be. Joker... he could be lying because he doesn't know she'd run into Smile and Black after the fact. He could be looking after her now, so she wouldn't be upset.]
[Well, too late for that. She'd already been plenty upset.]
[Maybe it's her turn to look after him, here. She might have given it away too soon, but maybe...]
What, you mean...? No, no! [She waves her hands as if that would make Joker forget all her talk of being damned and angels and whatnot.] I was waiting for you all to come back, and I fell asleep. When I woke up I was here and I wondered... if something had happened. I was right scared when everybody up and left, you know.
