CLEO THINKS MAYA IS GOOD PEOPLE. Basically, she... doesn't have a lot of trust in Maya's common sense, but she does in Maya's sense of right and wrong, perhaps the most out of the rest of Lilac! Since Bella is trickier and Musica has Musicad right along, Angel still hates her, and Blueberry still terrifies her, Maya is sort of... an external moral compass when she feels like she can't trust her own.
Which is something important to note, I think, since Cleo ultimately thinks of herself as a knight (NO SHIT IT'S NOT LIKE I BEAT THAT INTO THE GROUND ALL THE TIME), but an aspect that doesn't come out much is that... this also means she generally thinks of herself as serving the rest of Lilac! Musica dubbed her THE KNIGHT OF LILAC once as a joke but she has really sort of turned into that anyway, which means she will almost always place the decisions of the rest of the team above her own. Which. Sort of led to the whole thing with musica and the rest of the team in GM game but this is getting off-topic. But she does struggle with "serve team by protecting them" and "serve team by making their decisions law" and it is such a problem for her 8(
Basically, what I'm getting at here is while she will voice her opinion and then completely disregard her own opinion for the rest of Lilac, out of everyone else, she tends to trust Maya's moral compass the most, and would probably back her up over the other choices if she was forced to! (she would really rather not favor anyone for reasons of just wanting to be the knight and do what the team desires, but...)
Maya also seems the most innocent, in a way, which leads to that as well.
Though the whole "channeling the dead" thing weirds her right the fuck out.
So how is Maya feeling about the whole post-GM lilacplosion?
