Don't worry about it. I know this wasn't intentional, and clarifying our positions to one another is a normal part of having a civil discussion. I do apologize if the caps came off as me being upset. I was just trying to emphasize where I thought the disconnect was.
I understand your position. I think it's a matter of trade-offs. I think fewer girls witching out now is a good trade for troubles down the road re-collecting Clear Seeds. Sort of like how breaking someone's sternim is a good trade-off for getting them resuccitated with CPR. I conceptualize us as being in an emergency situation, and the distribution of Clear Seeds being an emergency measure. Emergency measures usually do involve trade-offs like that, where we would do things differently if we were in an ideal world and could get everything set up just the way we want it from the beginning.
Because every one of those food banks also doubles as an impenetrable forward base from which we can deploy an unending army of Sayakas to enforce our tyranical rule? I mean, it's an explicit selling point that no one will be able to attack it and win.
I'm reminded of an old sci-fi show called Earth Final Conflict. There's an episode where the equivalent of a nuclear terrorist attack is thwarted when the alien embassy raises its defesnes and deflects the blast into space. Afterward, there's some considerable allarm on the news that the aliens had put fortified strongholds in every major capital capable of shrugging off the most powerful weapons humanity had.
We don't want cleansing dependent on us. We want to be able to find a way to make cleansing available to everyone even if Sabrina were to poof out of existance. Our hope is we'll find a way to produce Grief Cubes in a way that other girls can replicate.
Cleansing being forever dependent on Sabrina is a bad thing, since the moment we die, Kyubey gets back to his normal business.
