I have a theory for what Gloxinia’s Commandment does. I based it off of a canon event that happened in the series, and I saw it from a simplistic theory from a reddit post, so I decided to add onto it.

As shown in Season 3, Episode 2, Diane and King were dancing, then a second later Diane and King were gone and no one noticed what happened. King and Diane were put to sleep. (One meaning of Repose is “A state of rest, sleep, or tranquility.”) This is further proved because when we moved over to see Diane and King in the Ore Tree Orudora, Gloxinia and Drole specifically told them to “wake up”. And the others seemed to not be paying attention and didn’t notice what was going on around them. So I think it can put you to sleep and also decrease your attentiveness to the point of not noticing things happening around you and possibly even seeing hallucinations. (Like dreams) Since Gerheade saw and heard Gloxinia even though he seemingly wasn’t actually there in front of her. Although Gloxinia may have actually been there, either way since Gloxinia and Drole abducted Diane and King the conclusion can be made that it was Gloxinia’s Commandment affecting them. Another meaning of Repose is Composure. Composure means being calm and in control of ones self. Being calm means not feeling any intense emotions, whether negative or positive.

In Season 3 Episode 2, everyone was dancing and listening to music, and they all seemed very happy, Diane and King likely got so happy they activated the Commandment of Repose’s effect by not being composed. The others also activated it but on a lower level, therefore putting them in a state that was similar to sleep or rest, but wasn’t all the way, possibly causing hallucinations (Dreams) and also causing your attentiveness to go down. (Like when you’re tired, haven’t gotten much sleep, or are going to sleep soon.) Diane and King also had recently been very embarrassed when they saw each other in a lake in the Fairy King’s Forest. There is also the fact that Commandments are typically chosen to capitalize on their owners whenever they can. For example Grayroad’s Pacifism goes extremely well with her Breakable Bug, as it summons creatures which can be easily destroyed to activate Pacifism. Meliodas’ Love goes well with his Assault Mode, since while in Assault Mode he loses all emotion and feeling, therefore he wouldn’t activate the Commandment of Love. Drole’s Patience goes well with him since he’s quite calm and not impulsive. Gloxinia’s Repose goes well with him since he never really gets too emotional, and when he does he always keeps himself under control, therefore not losing his composure.

So to simplify everything I think the Commandment of Repose’s effect and activation is;

Activation: Not being composed. Effect: Being put to sleep or a state similar to sleep which may cause hallucinations and loss of attentiveness depending on how uncomposed you were, the less composed you are, the larger toll the effect will take on you, to the point of unconsciousness.
