I'd hardly call it a mistaken belief when we don't know. Fact of the matter is you are making a lot of assumptions about how her power and the involved metaphysics work.
This is true. There are a
lot assumptions being made. But the problem is that
we aren't the only ones to have made assumptions about this: see Rionna's comments in response to our questions where she blows off our concerns about the state those souls are in.
I guarantee you that if we had her powers, the *first* question we would have asked would have been what would happen to anyone's soul that we 'took.' The fact that she has not even *considered* it...
Thematically, all signs point to this being Bad JuJu -- most especially her utter lack of concern for whether or not it is, in fact, Bad JuJu. She has actively demonstrated a lack of
care for the answer to that question. It's-- there is controversy about lethal injection when it results in painful death, yes? This goes beyond saying that you don't care about whether lethal injection causes pain, in here, Rionna has said that she doesn't care if what she's doing is fucking torture or not.
That is not okay.
Because another form of eternally torturing souls is called a grief seed. And our entire purpose is to remove
that particular affront to morality from existence.
Once you register that that is what Rionna has said, the questions involved become very different. We move from "is she a socio/psychopath/otherwise an immoral nutjob" to "what do we do, there's a person presenting as an immoral nutjob in front of us."
Does she have things we want? Sure. Is she one of them? As she is, fucking hell no, not given what she has said.
Now, it might vaguely be possible she's just being an idiot, or something. We *do* know she's supposed to be bad at social. Could she just be, like, *really* clueless to the point of never having considered this shit? It's possible, ignorance can be really good at pretending to be Evil.
Everybody here wants to give her at least a single chance -- that is how Sabrina operates. Throw what she's said in her face, show her some of the morality arguments here, see what her response to them is.
But given the way she's been talking, people are (wisely) expecting a very large probability that she won't bite. And if she doesn't bite, if she won't or can't accept that what she is saying is frankly *wrong*, *disgusting*, and potentially *evil* by virtue of *not caring* whether or not she has been torturing souls for however long--
In good conscience, I would not be able to let someone like that walk free without some kind of leash.
We do not *have* a suitable leash.
