My takeaway from watching Hermes was he was mentally unstable and in the wrong line of work. I didn't have an issue with the 'return to the star' belief system, I thought it was a refreshing perspective. I also found several of his comments ridiculous, especially coming from my own experiences volunteering for animal rescues where I accept that all creatures can't be saved and many times the most kindness you can offer is to end their suffering.

I don't know who the target audience for Hermes was considering Ishikawa herself said she thought 80% of players would hate him, but it certainly wasn't me. I did not find him sympathetic or his concerns to have merit and, according to the fandom, I'm exactly the type of person with whom he should have resonated. Rather, he came across as someone emotionally immature who decided because he was miserable then everyone else should be too and I have no respect for that.

It would appear we fundamentally disagree on the Elpis experience, so there's no point in me addressing the rest.
When was the last time an animal shelter put down a dog for not barking? That's what was about to happen until Hermes urged some of his collages to give one of their creations a chance to fly it was having trouble for some reason and got over it with some effort.
