SPOILERS
Thank you for playing my game! (I'm currently working on a new action game, so please wait a little longer!)
Although the star eater plays the role of the villain in the story, I don’t think he’s a bad guy at heart, just as you said. Just as the enemy characters helped out in the final stage of the Plus version, he might have been offering some kind of support as well. All the characters in the book really like Sepia.
