It’s not ego stroking, it’s true in real life as well. Your perspective and experiences are the only thing you can EVER be totally sure of. How much other people and events matter to you is ultimately your choice, because you can only ever know them for how they’re presented to you.
… Huh… No plus 1 for teamwork on team mortal then. Alright.
I uh… I’m getting the feeling that Julia won’t be as happy to see Mel, as I was hoping she would be… Is this one of those catches in the fine print moments?…
Well. That’s a shift in perspective …but I guess that it makes sense when you consider what Julia and Rhoda both learned. Oh, and well, Rhoda just gave her soul to a demon of sorts. A demon that is -hanging its branches over them-
So yeah, I’d be probably depressed over the view of the world myself at this point. But there’s one little problem …
Why would Rhoda have sacrificed her soul to a demon to try to save Julia with so little … conviction or rather…so little motivation? Its starting to sound more like Plot Armor ™ then anything … Opinions people?
I’m not sure I understand what you mean by lack of conviction/motivation. She explains her motivations to the demon pretty well: she feels partially responsible for Julia’s position because she could have acted sooner to save Julia. Is she ACTUALLY responsible for any of this? Not really, but that’s how Rhoda sees it, and so she’s acting on that perception. Not to mention Mel all but said, “it’s YOUR fault our friend is still in danger because you won’t use the knowledge I KNOW you have!” She was just lashing out, but her implication hit its mark.
This ego stroking is disgusting. That is my opinion. Take it or leave it.

Ego stroking? How so?

Existentialism meets optimistic solipsism.
That….that’s kind of wonderful.
