Are you OP ' s girlfriend ? <| sep |> Yeah I ' m not really trying to think that far into this as to argue game mechanics because the story will always fall apart if we do . It purposefully makes his side as plainly bad as it can to draw a fine line for casual players . Why should it matter in this universe what they wear , where they live or what they eat ? Everything is derived from the same beings , eating anything can be argued as cannibalism and clothes are largely for formalities or protection that they don ' t need . We dont have it confirmed at all that they need to eat or even breathe by the power of the Heart , and Shor takes a cave to Aetherius , there ' s a lot of symbolism to be drawn just from the casual things going on and none of it points to absolute evil or cruelty for anyone .
