-he also remarks that the reason why Aruel's body is in such good state after "eating" her is probably proof of how much she loved Aruel
Luke III says the same on Candus so Aaron decides to trust Chii when they get to know that she is half SoulDreg.
He explains that when a SoulDreg takes over something, that is still alive, that body shows some wounds and its skin darkens quite a lot. When talking about Aruel's body, the skin keeps a "humanly possible" color and there are no wounds and so it keeps the theory that Aruel accepted that merge or was dead before it happened.
