Talk:Naofumi's Triumphant Return/@comment-33122991-20190529134636/@comment-5805674-20190607185040

I think Naofumi realizing that Malty was sincerely begging him for her life despite everything, that she was that deseprate and reduced to that pathetic a state, was the clincher for his decision. He just wouldn't feel righteous about her dying this way since she'd be dying as a desperate, frightened girl, while he'd prefer her to die as the despicable, lying bitch she is. Sparing her life in a way that only reinforces her hatred for him would help lead her to the point where she can die in a way he feels is more appropriate and cathartic.
