well the long and short of it is that

cheesecake white-knuckle grips onto her magical girl hero identity in order to not slip into all encompassing despair and so she approaches him with a sort of "well gaius and lahabrea and nabriales and lolorito and ilberd and nidhogg and thordan and yotsuyu and zenos and asahi and vauthry all couldnt be reasoned with and i couldnt change their hearts but im a really bonafide magical girl now, for sure im good enough, and this time emet-selch really sounds like he wants to be friends and for me to change his mind!!!" vibe. but emet selch is also a representative/pillar of the institutions that traumatized her in the first place (shes ilsabardian) so in order to feel like he cant hurt her she has to take him seriously basically 0% of the time, thus rendering him harmless despite his power, because otherwise the dissociative doublethink required to make this selfish, willfully-ignorant choice of interacting with him will crumble, and so will her faith in her ability to comprehensively turn him good.

tldr he's her Prince
