Kind of bittersweet but very enjoyable. This is a really "missing the point" kind of thing to say, but I'd really love it if there were some way for the Queen to be redeemed, for her to recognize the truth in what the hero is saying and to gain the ability to change and improve. I'd also really love to play as the hero through the full "game" that this boss battle is implied to be a part of, but that would be a very different kind of experience.

I do really want to see change, even if as an ending requiring THE most skill and perseverance, but I just want to see one where she finishes the journey of changed. She has set the seeds for growth but the game really doesn't let you sow them.. I feel like it's not a "missing the point". She has already changed by the end, but it feels pointless to have change not be rewarded. It's so painful because it mirrors real life. Change isn't rewarded, it's commended, but punished.
