Somewhere in there, there's a real girl who was scared and wanting to tell the truth, but unable to. Doubt is the sword we've used to set that girl free.
[ Nice in that it asserts that they did the right thing! ]
I didn't know her that well either, but she seemed sweet. You're probably right - I know that I wouldn't want to survive if it meant putting others at risk like that.
[That's not exactly what she meant, but that's a nice thought, Escha.]
You're a kind person, aren't you? I also wouldn't want to survive as nothing more than a prisoner in my own body. I can't imagine a more terrible fate.
It's fair to assume we wouldn't know the difference.
[Frowning, still dwelling on the thought of Monika's plight. It's disturbing.]
But perhaps there's some way we haven't discovered yet. If Monika's will was enough to drive that creature towards Prompto, perhaps it is possible for a human's will to overpower them in other ways, or to convey a message?

It's usually not a bad thing, to know how to trust your instincts about people. But here, it isn't going to be that easy.

It's still hard to be happy about it at all, but... I'm sure you're right that Monika wouldn't have wanted the demon to get away with it.

I don't know her well enough to know what she would have wanted. But I can't imagine anyone would choose to live under those circumstances.

That's pretty creepy...
I guess I'd also hope that people could tell the difference, but... It's not really fair to expect that of a bunch of strangers.

If her will was only enough to do different bad things, that's not very hopeful.

Any possibility of resistance is better than none, isn't it?

[ I mean, the change of plans meant her friend died. But also the alternative would be someone else dying, which she's not into either. ]

I liked him. He seemed like a kind person. It's a pity to lose anyone, but for such arbitrary reasons...

But it's too little too late.

W-well, this time I hope it just doesn't happen, but...
