if anything I'd call that even harder to feel bad about than killing the fish lady. Clearing out the Anyder was a preemptive strike, but the Ruby weapon was literally already on its way to slaughter people and actively tried to kill us lmao. No sad flashback is gonna make me feel bad for stopping the pilot of a literal murder machine from obliterating my entire face.
I don't think there's anything wrong with not feeling a lot of sympathy there. Different strokes for different folks and all that.
For myself, even though I know that stopping the Ruby Weapon was undeniably the right thing to do, that doesn't mean that I didn't feel a little bad for Gaius. Likewise for the pilot girl. She and the other orphans only joined to try and make Gaius proud after he took them in, but she ended up as just another expendable cog in the Garlean war machine. It seems like there's more going on, but that's my initial take on it.
I had comparatively less sympathy for the sahagin queen.
