Mr. Weisman,

After rewatching Awakening parts IV and V, I wanted to ask you the following:

In your opinion, does Demona really have any feelings for Goliath when they are reunited in 20th century New York?

I ask this for two reasons. First, in your comments on part IV you stated that she "must have been thrilled..." to be reunited with him, but that really doesn't show on her face. Instead, her initial reaction is a cold, calculating smirk, as if she sees Goliath not as the male she loves but rather as a means to her ends.
Secondly, in part V, after everything is out in the open and she is trying to get Goliath to join her, she only uses his love for her to try to draw him over (i.e., YOU loved Me once, YOU trusted ME once...). She never makes any claim to having feelings for him.
