Spoilers and a question for the author
It seemed a bit out of character for me when Nyxia killed mc after mc stated something like "I thought he would treat me like an equal" or "I didnt think he would do this to me". In the other instances Nyxia killed mc or hurt them, it was always when they didnt obey and therefore displeased him. But in this case nothing like that happened, they just spoke a sentence. Nyxia even admits its a fair assumption or wish based on the option chosen. So why would he instantly kill them after Leshi leaves? It doesnt really make sense to me. Mc didnt do anything bad and he instantly reacts like that. After he already chose them, aka poisoned them.
Even when mc declines Nyxias companionship, he doesnt outright kill or hurt them. Instead, he actually takes the time to talk to them about it, even waits till they are sobered up, recognising that theyre are too 'valuable' to kill without a second thought. They are the *first* human to obey him among so many other failed ones, which is why he talks to them first.
But in the case where mc states their wish or assumption, he disregards all of that in an instance. He could literally talk to them about it or in the worse case poison them again so that they forget about it. Its also confusing because he stated that its a fair wish or assumption, he recognises that its fair to state such a thing. But he doesnt do anything of what I just listed, he just kills them. It feels like an irrational response and hes always shown to be rational, even know to dislike irrational behaviour.
Why does he kill them in that scene? Is there an explanation for this? It just feels out of character for me but I hope that can get cleared up with an answer.
