Sundering stuff established in the Q&A

[Alleluia]

No, I believe Venat does in general feel very sad when confronted with meaningless death or cruelty. It's just that sadness has nothing to do with any of her actions and doesn't factor into her motivations. She can be "sad" that the Ancients are too blind to follow her path and still kill them. She can be "sad" that she's mentally torturing a fundamentally kind man that hates what he feels he has to do, but still manipulate him into doing it. She can be "sad" over the lives lost in war, famine, and disease, but still create a world where all those things happen regularly.

And how is feeling sad the same as having "basically no issues", exactly? Is she callous or not?

And I did notice the quotes around "sad", implying she doesn't actually feel that emotion sincerely, but if that's the case then why bother with making sure Hades got a second chance to live(/help his friend/confront Meteion/whatever the point you want to assume his appearance in Ultima Thule had) as some kind of penance for a guilt she didn't sincerely feel? .

And isn't that act letting that sadness "factor into her motivations"? Like, she did it precisely b/c she felt badly, if we're accepting your premise.
