After he killed him, well, medically assisting was more important... last words etc.
Krile and Alphinaud had the medical assistance covered.

Wuk Lamat and Koana were there for the last words as his family along with Erenville.

Why wouldn't Alisaie and the WoL act to stop an assassin? The importance of the resonator was obvious and would have been a prime point to strike at to disable Zoraal Ja. The Alisaie of Endwalker wouldn't have even thought twice. She would have gone after him alone.

If Zoraal Ja had some of his robot minions with him and left them behind, then it would have made sense to remain to protect the others as they attended to Gulool Ja Ja. With no one else in the citadel, it made no sense not to pursue him.

There was a good underlying story to the first half of the MSQ but it had some glaring flaws at times. The same for the second half of the MSQ. And the biggest flaw of all was that the two stories didn't belong in the same expansion. They ended up competing against each other for attention and I think that's what has led to the love it/hate it reactions of so many players.
