Revelations from Patch 5.5 (Part 2)

I also think it's why Emet contradicts himself so much, after you fail to control the light and he claims you'll turn into a beast and kill everyone, he still puts on a history lesson for you, someone who he claims won't remember any of it, because he knows you will and he needs you to, because after he's gone, someone has to, because he's the only one left who does and he just wants someone else to remember, he can't bering them back, but he can't let them be forgotten. "I won't let it all be for naught!" It wasn't so long as someone still knows they existed.

Yeah, fair on Emet-Selch probably trying to act out to cope. When we first saw him, he was going "lol Lahabrea is dead, he was stupid anyway". Which is very strange if he actually cared about Lahabrea anyway, but if it was him trying to hide his grief in a deeply unhealthy way, maybe it fits? (I honestly can't understand it myself, but I've been told everyone processes grief differently.)

Yeah, some people can be cold or even downright nasty to the person that died even if they cared about them for that very reason, they cared about them and they went and "left" them, in Emet's case all alone, even though it wasn't like Lahabrea killed himself, he was still gone and Emet was now the last true unsundered. Worse still in Emets case is unlike you or I who if we lose someone we can find someone to till the void as an unsundered Emet could never find another unsundered, so it hits even harder.

I think while Emet was true to his word and was honest with you during 5.0 he was also only honest on a surface levle in that he gave honest information and was willing to be helpful, the man clearly spoke in half truths at time, had meaning within his words or at times seemed to straight contradict himself. I'm not sure if he intended to commit "death by WoL" from the start, but he spent A LOT of time imparting information to the WoL about his people and setting up plans and events to trigger after his defeat for victory to have been his primary goal either.
