Just finished the latest update, didn't realize there was a choice to negotiate

. If you negotiate does it lessen your against points with athena? Kinda hoping athena gets some sort of redemption arc after getting a glimpse of her backstory but not sure how strict the variables are going to be to get it.
Anyway to late now I guess, rather not go back to season 1 and try to find some middle choice and figure out balancing variables. Guess I just got to pick between fight or leave [still not sure which to pick lol]. I mean it feels like the game wants you to fight her since you get so much of info about athena and the mc from the fight [their powers, the voice [nyx?], plus the scene itself was really good, if you pick leave you pretty much get nothing except athena smirking at you.
Didn't like the final choice since choices like that are so frustrating for me but its a great game anyway
