A cute girl who has problems with religion and relationships and independence. Relatable. Weird.
Dio ordinarily has no patience for youths because he was always forced into adult responsibilities and judges everyone accordingly. Torri has such an unusual affect that she piqued his concern anyway. For example, when she "flew", the resulting commotion drew his alarm. Torri was ultimately the only person who bought Dio's ringmaster cover hook, line, and sinker. Applause like Torri provided him is all Dio has ever wanted. Which is why her tears at his trial made him so uncomfortable. He could ignore it at first. Torri got to him when she sincerely suspected that he was guilty and yet still defended Helena "because you would protect a friend". Through continued references to their past conversations, Torri got her point across. "Dio was a bad person."
Dio felt very strange as a ghost watching Torri fall into catatonic depression. From a higher perspective she was obviously the exact kind of innocent person he supposedly fought to protect. Her attachment to Wake was dragging her down but only because Dio acted in the first place. With encouragement from Wake, Dio recalibrated his allegiances and saw Torri as a fallen ally. He got the impression that she is still not completely undamaged. His debt to Wake extends to Torri by association and he is a little relieved that there's no sign of her collecting any time soon.
