***SPOILERS*** Question about the very last cutscene ***SPOILERS***

[KariTheFox]

It's important to remember that the Meteion that we interacted with both in Elpis and after the Endsinger battle was a component of a hivemind that had her free will suppressed by the collective. Any time she was able to act under her own agency she would plead with the gestalt meteion to leave us alone, and begged us to protect the people she loved from her sisters.

Is she morally culpable for the actions of her sisters? I lean towards no. As for the bird in the ending cutscene, I think it's largely up to interpretation. Though I like to think in some way a hopeful, benevolent meteion is watching the people of Ethyris now.
