I am not disagreeing with you per se, but I do think redemption CAN be found on love path.That's the thing though, on friend path she does not give a flying fuck about MC. She is okay to cheat, deceive, manipulate etc. if everything blew up like it happened in the game, though luck at worst case mission failed for her. MC's love for her does not mean jackshit for her.
For love path, she does all the things she did at the friend path but there is a difference here, she is doing all of it to a person whom she claims she loves. She lies in all the paths but she does that to a person she says she is in love with.
For me, all of her paths are irredeemable but in her love path she does things to a person that she have feelings. This makes me furious with her, you won't do such a thing to a person you love. In friend path, she has who gives a fuck attitude which is shitty but expectable.
Granted, I would never, ever, be able to do it myself, but can somewhat see why others can.
She is genuinely sorry shit happened the way it did. She did enter relationship for all the wrong reason, she did lie and manipulate MC, she is absolutely horrible person...but in the end, her feelings for MC are genuine.
That's why shower scene in chapter 2 is very important. It's not Kaija lying to MC, it's Kaija being sad on her own.
Ceolag placing that scene there is perfect, it shows the effect it has on her, no words, just sad scene.
She knows what she's done and feels regret over it. She lost something that means a lot to her. Someone that means a lot to her.
As official member of "fuck Kaija" club, I am in no way defending her, just explaining why I think people might like her.
I am usually quite forgiving on "secret life" stuff, just find this specific scenario doesn't play well with my feelings and feels like betrayal of the worst kind. She's checked off every box on "don't do in relationship" bingo card.
Everything bad that happens is on her.
