Dorothy: Nostalgia
95
15The time is two months before the Ark closes its doors and Operation Ark Guardian is concluded. As a member of Goddess, Dorothy faithfully carries out her duty, though she struggles as both allies and supplies dwindle to near nothing from unforeseen setbacks, and the rest of her squad fractures, seeking solace in whatever habits they usually perform. It's only with the advice of Pinne, the sole surviving MP Nikke, that Dorothy learns how to rally her squad to press on.
Sadly, Pinne suffers corruption and Dorothy is forced to kill her. Driven to the depths of despair from murdering her friend, Dorothy finds solace in a mental projection of the recently-deceased Pinne, often speaking and interacting with her where the rest of Goddess sees their leader talking to thin air.
While the rest of Goddess sets off to find the Queen, Dorothy struggles to leave the outpost, spurred by "Pinne" to stay in the paradise made for herself. Eventually, Dorothy manages to get over Pinne's death and depart, but that just leaves her hollow. Until she spies the one thing that'd set her on a path of darkness; a sign, innocuously welcoming readers to "humanity's last paradise," the Ark.
Mocked by the reminder of what they were denied, Dorothy decides she's had enough. If humanity will not give Goddess their paradise, their due reward for all they've suffered...then she will take it from them, with interest.

Despite Dorothy has suffered long enough. She hates humans for not helping them. And for that she is no longer help humans.
