I would think that a joy in discovering different perspectives and willingness to take the viewpoint of others into consideration is a far cry from callousness and cruelty. Every time the WoL points out something to them, they immediately think it's an excellent idea and strive to incorporate it into how Elpis works.

BTW, they already had funeral rites for the creations that passed in Elpis, we just added to it. There was already a mechanism in place to show respect for dead creations.
