[Ignoring the admonition because she’s just relieved they finally got to this point.]
I’m so unused to trying to communicate in riddles. Exactly. I asked her what would happen to the demon if I protected the host - if we’d still be able to exorcise it or if it would be spared too - and she was unable to answer me. Because of that, I’ve been trying to find a way to avoid using this on a host.
You may think me cold for this, but I would rather sacrifice a person like Monika and kill the demon inside than render an exorcism useless. In the long term, killing those things will prevent further bloodshed, even if human beings are lost along the way.
I can see that wasn’t Escha’s strategy, but for me, it’s a concern.
