Or maybe Yoko Taro didn't bother writing a proper story and we got fed garbage. I lean towards the latter.

Also, fun fact, Hansel and Gretel have different lines depending on who dies first. Rather than "Take and take", the final hex is "Give and give". So that's nice I guess.

I wouldn't say the story's garbage, it's just that (from what I understand) Yoko Taro's more interested in having his stories be emotionally evocative than make logical sense. The denouement of telling off all the dwarves trying to blame Anogg and Konogg for the Puppet units laying waste to Komra is obviously his signature style, for example. Plus we still haven't seen the "true ending" yet, so I wouldn't be so quick to judge... but again, emotional evocation takes precedence over logical sense in Yoko Taro's idiom, so if you're holding out for an explanation you're (probably) approaching it from the wrong angle.

I figured Hansel and Gretel would have different dialogue depending on which is downed first, but given that I don't really have time to write it down while running the raid myself, and said dialogue is instantly buried in item rolls after the fights, I watched a YouTube video and went from there (and don't feel like combing through such videos to get two with the different results; I'm not that dedicated). Thanks for doing that other bit of work, friend!
