#When Mai (cold-bloodedly?) kills [[Mukade]], she denies the violent side of her (which Mukade claims is slated to take control of her). This feeds back onto her psychology, so she's less of a killer afterwards... then [[Kerr]]'s death and [[Shinatama]]'s zombification (and second death) set Mai's mind on murder again.

#The "wrong" choice alienates Mai deeply, but is that alienation irreversible? Does Mai redeem herself by defeating Mutant Muro (sort of like for Mukade), or is it too late for her to be "saved"? Is she condemned to be haunted by real and unreal violence forever? In her dreams, perhaps? | #The "wrong" choice alienates Mai deeply, but is that alienation irreversible?
