After Kanako's unconscious body was taken from the crying widows arms, she spend the night retreating into her estate. She avoided contact and did so for three days, after which Starlo was forced to break her out to make her care for herself even a little bit.She ended up turning to drinking, swinging between overeating and starving herself. She kept quiet and did not let anyone approach her emotionally.Five months later, Clover fell down into the Underground. Ceroba, barely clinging onto in her eyes guilty and useless life saw purpose. A way to save Kanako, save Monsterkind and wash away the shame of her failure, propel her husbands name into something to be respected across all of the Underground. Give her wasted life some meaning and make his voice be heard from the beyond.She attempted to gain Clover's trust after the fiasco in the Wild East with Starlo.

Ceroba ended up shifting form, something that was also in her nature. Clover ended up defeating her after a significant struggle.She begged to be shot, to be killed off after her failure. She was too far down in the ditch, too far gone she believed. And this time, there was no Chujin to help her out of it. Starlo and Martlet both stopped her from going on further, underlining her mistakes. But also offering to help her through it, to be here for her.Clover ended up sacrificing themselves for the sake of Monsterkind briefly afterwards, incapable of doing otherwise. Their imprisonment was unjust, and the only remedy to the problem was through them they realized. So they let go of their life and SOUL.
