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 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...
