Like her true persona (Marie), Soma still have soft-side within her and wanted a happiness like being life as normal human.At the first time, Soma has no idea about Marie and refuse to being call "Marie" by Allelujah. Beside this, Soma loneliness that she express toward Sergei probably its come from Marie experience when she loses her five sense causing her unable to socialize with her environment.
