"Pervert." You point at Kyubey while glaring at him.

"I am no such thing."

"Yeah, you are!"

"I am not."
Pixie is best girl and deserves a cookie.

[X] Plan Feelings are complicated.
-[X] "If there had been a way to free Kohaku and Kyoko while bringing him in alive... On principal I want to say I would take it, but I'm not sure I if I would put as much effort in the last part as I would the prior two. I don't feel bad that it was him specifically, but I don't want that feeling to be a reoccurring thing either."
-[X] "It's... Some things happened back in Akami Springs and I had already decided before I moved here that I don't want to go down that path. Judge, Jury, and Executioner. But I also know I would do it again to protect those important to me."

So basic summary of what I am trying to convey: she doesn't feel bad about killing him specifically, so much as what it means to kill in general.
 
setting her on the ground next to Kyubey

Yes, put a member of one of the weakest demon species right next to the psuedo-eldritch alien mobile social interaction / sensor platform, Yumi. The very thing which has wanted to gather data on demons, and was prevented (hopefully) from doing so by the agreement we got it to make.

This will definitely not cause any problems whatsoever, at all. Nope.

"Ah, I see." Kyubey turns to you, with his creepy red eyes and his stupid face, "Yumi Konishi was bathing herself! Your sudden appearance must have startled her, so she removed you from the premises!"

"But why?" You tilt your head.

"Bathing, as I have observed, is an extremely personal time for humans. Basically, it means that this is the time when they are most physically vulnerable! I have been removed from human bathrooms many ti--"

"Pervert." You point at Kyubey while glaring at him.

Wait, so... Pixie went from completely not understanding the problem, to understanding the problem so thoroughly she calls it a pervert. While completely ignoring that she could count as one herself, albeit only the one time.

[X] Plan "I just killed someone." EX
-[X] "I'll need to talk about it, but I'm not ready to, beyond saying I do not regret the pest control or getting Kohaku and Kyoko out of there." Quickly check Kyoko and Kohaku for any lingering influences, assuming Hino only had methods contingent on him being alive might be a bad idea. You may have a mild paranoia problem, you realize. "I'm still coming to grips with crossing that line against any human being in general, but not against him. He. Hurt. Kohaku. He would've hurt Kyoko, or worse, and through that Yuma, Mami, and the others. I've seen what rippling effects of despair can do to young teens, I wasn't going to let him hurt anyone else."
--[X] "Oh, by the way, Kyubey? I will consider trying to take advantage of any emotional upheaval from this situation as a breach of our agreement. If you have any... suggestions, for someone involved in the matter, run them by one or more of the adults in our lives we have a healthy relationship with that has all the information we'd consider relevant, while those adults are themselves calm, and allow those adults to make the decision to share or not, in ways which aren't likely to make the situation worse. I'm not sure why you're even here right now?"

Tempted to throw in a bit in that last subvote, "Oh, by the way, speaking of Despair, Kyubey..." :D

Well personally, I pick this.

My vote:

[x] "I'm... getting by. Father Hino was a piece of work, but I wanted to believe he might've had some good in him once, like some of the others I met in my life before getting consumed by themselves."
- [x] "If he had though, it was gone long ago. With the power he had, he could have helped so many people if he chose to, but didn't. There was no other path I could have taken to stop him, so I did."
 
[X] "...I cut off someone's arm a few days ago. And I had enough power to just... make the problem go away, with a wave of my hand and a little magic."
-[X] "And now I've killed someone. Sure, it was Father Hino, I went in knowing this was probably going to be the result, but... I wanted to believe he might've had some good in him once, like some of the others I met in my life before getting consumed by themselves."
--[X] "If he had though, it was gone long ago. With the power he had, he could have helped so many people if he chose to, but didn't. There was no other path I could have taken to stop him, but even so I just... What kind of world do we live in that killing my best friend's father and having a hand in the death of her mother is a good thing?!"

NON CANON: A New Yuma Power!
Everything hurts.

"God, you really are pathetic!" Victoria taunts, "You can't even control that big slithering bastard! Face it, you little shit, you have two options here." She saunters forward, rapier in hand, "Either you make a Wish, or I draw this out." She lifts the rapier, grinning maniacally, "So, which is it gonna be...?"

[] Make a Wish.
[] Die slowly.

You scramble to your feet, backing away as Victoria approaches. Her rapier is gleaming with blood. You...

...Lift your cane above your head, and slam it down in front of you.

[X] ????????????????????????????????

Before Victoria can reach you, a blinding light fills the Barrier, and she is sent sprawling by some unseen force.

When the dust settles, you don't see Mr. Griffon, or Mr. Shadow. Instead...

"Ahh, free... At last." The figure rises from the dust, its translucent body glimmering and becoming slightly more opaque, "Oh, Gabriel... Now dawns thy reckoning...!" It stands up straight, facing away from you, "And thy gore shall glisten before the temples of man!"

Victoria readies her rapier, and--

"Oh? A child hath called upon my strength, to face the might of the wicked?" The being grabs Victoria's blade with one hand, and slugs her in the stomach with the other. She is sent flying backwards into a wall, "'Tis clear to me, young one. I shall fight in thy stead. The innocent shan't spill the horrid blood of the terrible beast."

Victoria recovers quickly, making a platform of ice to jump off of, diving at your new friend. "You think you--!!"

"In times past..." He grabs her throat, "...I may have offered thee peace." He holds her close to his face, "But I shan't fall for the same blunder any longer." He tosses her back, "No, thy kind shall only take more and spill blood, without any care. No longer."

With a flick of her wrist, Victoria coats her blade in ice. "What are you supposed to be, then? My dad?!"

"I feel nothing but pity for thee, even now." He replies, cracking his neck, "Thou art like a rabid beast, snarling and biting out of the purest instinct."

You can only stare up at this... Person you summoned, standing in complete silence.

"But I have seen thy sin with my own eyes. The crimes thou hast committed against the young and the innocent have not been forgotten." He takes one step, "And thy punishment..."

Victoria roars as she slashes at him! The blow--

He's gone?

The man grabs her by the collar, his face clearly visible.

Or, rather, where his face should be. There's nothing there but a hole.

"...Is DEATH!"

mixing a bit of an existing vote with some of my thoughts on the matter. Was tempted to drop some... I guess I'd call it mildly absurdist black comedy but uh... felt a bit excessive. And also I couldn't get it to work after 3 minutes of trying.
"What are we even supposed to do in this situation!? It's not like I can just- 'gee, I sure am sorry I made you an orphan Kohaku, but i bet ice cream would make it all better! I'm feeling strawberry, what about you?' That-that's even worse, isn't it?"
Like I said. A bit excessive.

Now I'm imagining V1 as a summonable Demon. Some kind of Agility based skill that gives a chance to reflect incoming attacks to represent Feedbacker? And almost certainly a bunch of Physical & Gun skills. Maybe an electrical Skill to represent the Railcannon. IDK! But the funni bloodbot is funni so yeh.

Yeah, I like this one I think. Feels like it captures the 'Oh I'm kinda fucked in head right now' energy of it all while still keeping the hope of the Yumi spirit.

Also, that's two for two of our friends fathers having entered that church and dying in it. Let's make sure Tomohisa never gets close to it.

Yumi: Be careful, they've got a sniper!

Devil Dog, standing up and looking around: Where? *Gets shot at* Found 'im, he's a shit shot.
