    Yeah, he didn't inherit his Ascian memories, he's literally just very aware of the sorts of things he knows he would do, and doesn't try to deny it. We know what someone in that situation actually remembering their future-past actions would be like, that's Themis, and Lahabrea wasn't written like that.

    Reminded me of Emet finding out he ends up a megalomaniacal madman and his primary objection to it is our tone. Once he's given the circumstances, he can understand his actions and agrees with them. He just objects to our tone. its the fact that he may have "abandoned his duty" and wanted us to win in Amaurot that he ends up really bothered by. Lahabrea seems the same, but meaner.

    I feel like Emet did that thing there where he wanted to argue with us, but just couldn't come up with anything. He either knows we're right, or (since at that point I think he's still thinking we're Azem's familiar) knowing that if we're lying we probably wouldn't have been made to know that.

    But yeah, we see different levels of acceptance with the three people we tell; Emet's in some level of denial (probably mostly to himself), Venat recognizes that she'd do that if she had to but is in disbelief that things would come to that, and Lahabrea has no doubt in his mind.

    There's absolutely a reason that when the watcher asks me to pass judgement on Venat and the Ascians my response is "they were all monsters"
