Emphasis on used to, friend.
They're no longer capable of thinking and feeling as ordinary people do anymore. They're aberrations that have lost empathy, and love- they have vague memories of those things as demonstrated by the big baddy and her obsession with playing at romance. But they can't experience those things anymore. Sure, they're victims- but again, they're like zombies. Special infected from Left 4 Dead. I can pity a boomer even as I shoot it to make sure it doesn't end up spreading it's bile all over me and my friends. The boomer might not want to do what it does, and it sure didn't choose that undeath, but once it's at that point it's a little late to reach out with kindness and compassion and hope friendship will cure them.
The difference between a zombie and a CoC demon is that the zombie virus has to kill the host in order to assert it's control and propagate through the masses, while a demon needs people to be, y'know, alive. Demons do not need to kill anyone to win in the end, they just need to spread corruption, and they do that merely by existing. They also can't help but WANT to do it, they want to have nonstop sex, they want to fuck souls out of people, they want to lead people astray, they don't see it as a big deal at all- they don't see anything short of their own death as a big deal worth being concerned over. Their IDEAL APPROACH TO ALL OF THIS, would be us accepting them as neighbors and friends and just laughing it off every time they drain the soul out of our friends and family. Farrah isn't being kind and cooperative or rising above her demonic instincts, she's just spreading the corruption in a way that your character can, for whatever reason, choose to just... Watch. Accept as it happens in their own domain.
That isn't proof of what you think it is, buddy. If anything, it exposes how deeply brainwashed you've gotten that it's totally cool to have your empathy, compassion, and humanity literally raped out of you and to become a hedonistic husk driven by nothing but carnal instincts and foggy memories of how you used to be before you were 'infected' and started spreading the 'infection'.

The problem I have is that, again, in just about any other setting or context, the protagonist would kill or at the very least imprison Kalysea to stop her from doing any further harm to anyone. The instant it became clear she was just as corruptive as the demons, in the middle of the spread of corruption, she would seen as a threat to be gotten rid of as soon as possible. But she is an OC that you've paid to have included in the game. She is immune to the consequences of her actions in the mechanics of the game. She is planning to brainwash everyone with her ball stank, but the player can only choose to ignore her, same as with Farrah. The player can't resist her stank, either. Any amount of interaction with her is complete defeat, which is what makes her a Mary Sue OC. Nobody wants to pay Savin and his team to include a 'kill that villain' button.
If we're being charitable, the best outcome from a narrative perspective we can hope to have implied is that the player ignored her so another hero or some other villain can show up and kill her while we were apparently not doing anything about her somewhere else.

This isn't a personal attack on you. I'm not trying to insult you personally, this is just fetish fuel, I get it, it's a fantasy to fap to and forget about. But for anyone that takes the narrative at all seriously, the demons are a plague, and people like Kalysea are no better than Tollus and his freaky cult, trying to spread their own strains of the plague without any concern for the consequences or the lives they're ruining. That makes them villains, and monsters, that in ANY OTHER GAME, ANY OTHER SETTING, would be slain by the protagonist. But she enjoys special protections as a paid OC, and that rubs people the wrong way, especially when you try to make the claim that it's a morally superior choice than eliminating all the demons.
Because if your answer to a zombie outbreak is that we all try to give the zombies a chance to acclimate to us, while they're actively spreading the virus to everyone, and keep taking bites out of us- 'but it's okay guys, that was an accident, haha, laugh it off'- then it's very difficult to take your argument as one being made in good faith and not just OC glazing. "She's morally ambiguous and justifiable in that your genocidal actions are worse!" It's not the argument you think it is when killing off plague rats...
