Trust no one. Not even yourself if your corruption stat is high.
At least Ella is honest with us. I say that because while she has lied to other people, I don't think there was ever a case where she didn't either TRY to warn us or just not tell us the full truth; but always hinting at more.
Now take H.E.R.O for example; so many god damn variables it's not even funny. While you may have had a heart to heart moment with Ella (end of training), H.E.R.O has NEVER shown it's true colors so far. We've got snippets of Xanthe disregarding human life, Dexter threatening global domination, hell, you're out right killed if you don't join H.E.R.O and they are ready to replace you.
Ella is one person, get to know her, you're fine. H.E.R.O is a council with POWERFUL non council members to boot. So far we've got;
Council:
1. Dexter- Literal richest guy alive AND a politician to boot, of COURSE he has skeleton corruption in his closet.
2. Xanthe- ...
3. Bernhard- Literally refers to humans as humans, comon.
4. Lucifer- Delusional, he seems good, but may I remind you he was the one to burn down the Frat Party I believe, regardless of survivors.
Misc Members:
1. A Necromancer- I'm like 90% sure that's the teaser character if I'm not mistaken, though I could be wrong. REGARDLESS, I'm sure she turns a blind eye to a few civilians in the crossfire for some extra "help". (Plus if you could name me a morally good necromancer...)
2. Nicolette- ...
3. Alexis- Unhinged.
4. Clark- Actually, he's fine.
5. Deus- Literally fed the crow that butched an entire cafe. Plan or no plan, that's still fucked up, how many monster attacks does he predict and keep to himself just to fit his future plans? (His mannerisms also strike me as uncaring)
6. Alice- Head of the FUCKING MAFIA! She literally has her end arc asking whether or not we could love the chick that just nuked a building! (Love her tho obviously)
7. Michael- ...
And that's just the members we KNOW of (minus Zack, nei). Now the politics are also obviously BONKERS. You have walking gods all over the place with no regulations whatso ever. Financial support just for a sign on which obviously boosts the ego of these young impressionable super powered idiots. I know they SAY the helmets do something but, comon, did we see Acid guy, Clothes burning guy? Any of the elite members unbridled rage? I could be over exaggerating, but in a world filled with gods, monsters, and madness; I think a chick tutoring you and running an orphanage should be the LEAST of your trust issues.
SN: I'm obviously not trying to belittle the comment, this was just a justification for best girl.
