"This is what he deserves."
Death Retrace, Lu Li becomes the Observer, watching himself kill Asamonsi once again.
This once-legendary figure, a founding member of Midnight City and a revered dean of Giant Tree Academy, pathetically died as a traitor. Thankfully, at least in his final moments, he regained clarity and chose self-destruction.

Strictly speaking, if one were to uphold the old human legal system, no one is truly innocent in the Weird Times.
The massacres Anna committed when transforming into an evil spirit; the travelers Mother of the Marsh beguiled over hundreds of years; Chris's use of Aliens as test subjects in alchemy experiments; Claire's killings of Evil Hunters in the wilderness; the Uninvited Guests who killed tens of thousands over decades; every human who stole, fought, robbed, murdered to survive.
The more civilization fades, the closer humans become to beasts.
