Surely You are not about to tell Me that You feel sorry about Asmodia.

Of course I feel sorry about Asmodia.  She spoke Keltham's name three times, and snapped her fingers, like in a dath ilani story he'd told her, trying to invoke tropes to save herself, and he didn't appear to save her even at the very end, and then she cried and then she killed herself.  We chose for that to happen.

Asmodia gets to go to the Gardens of Erecura and rest!  Iomedae isn't wrong that a lot of more deserving people have worse things happen to them on a regular basis!

Pretty sure that if you told her about both options, she'd take the other one.

(The other option, according to Nethys's walkthrough left to them, is for Milani to suggest to Otolmens that Otolmens buy Asmodia's soul from Asmodeus so that She can make the Otolmens-sympathetic mortal Her cleric; and for Otolmens to send Her cleric as an envoy to Osirion, to get the anomaly back in the anomaly containment zone; and for Her to pay Asmodeus for the creation of a neutral territory inside the Ostenso region, so that can happen.

Timed correctly, Asmodia says Keltham's name three times and snaps her fingers; and then a Gate opens just outside the edge of the Forbiddance nearest her; and then, a few seconds later, a pit fiend walks out.)

Accepting that as a fair point on Asmodia's individual basis, the other stakes are so much larger, and the fate of Asmodia so much less grim than many others', that to mourn this turn genuinely does strike Me as stupid rather than respectful.

I'm not questioning this decision because I feel bad for Asmodia missing out on the rest of her storyline, although I obviously do.  I only even mentioned that part because You asked and because I knew it would annoy You.

Among the many crimes that Pharasma committed against reality was constructing an alignment system in which You and I are in the same sector.

What's the actual problem?

Wondering if this was the right thing to do.

According to Nethys, the Asmodia route is worse for Our interests than any other route except the Abrogail Thrune route.  Otolmens and Asmodeus are two out of three gods we'd least like to win the stakes.  And the third route we least want is also Asmodia, the one where she never goes to the Gardens and ends up Chosen and Blessed of Rovagug.  Do your utilities disagree, or are you doubting Nethys's claims?

The latter.  I'm wondering if Nethys lied, specifically, about the probabilities that we can maneuver Asmodia into ending up with just enough influence that she moderates the parts causing the greatest numbers of mortal casualties, without that "SHUTTING DOWN this ENTIRE anomalous series of EVENTS".

I won't say that Your nature is not to care, but Your nature sure is to accept that as a cost and do it anyways.

If we don't know whether Nethys lied, it's obviously the correct course of action to remove Asmodia from the gameboard, given that He even might have been warning Us truly.

Yes.  That's what would, hypothetically, make it an effective lie, and remove from the gameboard the Chosen of the god most opposed to Nethys, especially if Nethys actually was playing to destroy the world all along.  It can't have escaped Your notice that Nethys's walkthrough has now reached a supposedly temporary point where the only girl who has a continuing relationship with Keltham is Ione Sala.

Of course it hasn't escaped My notice.  I considered it thoroughly when I was first visualizing the walkthrough playing out as Nethys recommended, that We'd reach a point like that.  You can't possibly have not thought it through Yourself.

I chose not to feel things through, when I thought those events through, so that I would feel things as they happen.

This seems a foolish luxury.

Well, You said it too.  Any alignment system that puts Us two into the same sector is a crime against reality.

I don't understand why You'd pick this particular juncture to feel doubt of Nethys and not a hundred earlier ones.

Feels like the first time we've deliberately fucked over a protagonist whose route we activated at all.  Can we really be playing this correctly?

WE SENT HER TO THE GARDENS OF ERECURA.

And took away the rest of her adventure.

Cayden Cailean?

STOP BEING AN ABSOLUTE IDIOT.  WE HAVE THINGS TO DO.

You're not my real dad.

Truly an indescribable tragedy of an alignment system.
