[She is alone, thankfully. Mukuro had been in and out of the apartment all week, between Riley, Horatio, and everything else. And it is recognizably Celeste that answers the door, but to say she looks different would be an understatement. All of the sharp angles and points that come with her demonic form have been replaced with golden tones and insectoid fuzz that makes her look softer. It seems to emphasize how her expression shifts from polite curiosity to absolutely dumbstruck, eyes widening, mouth half open like she knows she should say something but her brain has stalled out, and she seems totally speechless.
She's so relieved to see him. Celeste had barely managed to wrangle the emotional wound that Komaeda's loss had brought on when she was struck down with killing Riley. If he had really disappeared on top of all that...
But he didn't. He looks like hell warmed over in wrinkled dress clothes and hair sticking up in the back and looking like he'd smell terribly musty. And she is so happy to see him she doesn't know how to contain it.]
