This is an odd comment. "...could have tried a bit harder to resist or recognize what's happening..."



How are we to judge how hard she was trying? Perhaps she was trying exceptionally hard, literally as hard as anyone or anything ever could. Would we know?

It's not like we have anything to compare it to or any way to truly measure or judge how well or poorly she did. Seems like a bit of an unfair critique to me.



But even if one were to say she didn't do the absolute most at the end there, we also need to consider:

She had lost her husband. This was the trigger that set her toward her obsession and then corruption by the parasite. It certainly made her more susceptible than she would otherwise be.

Her son left/abandoned/fought against her (or at least she might see it that way). I'm sure that didn't help her will to keep fighting, whether she was consciously aware of that or not.

Finally even her daughter left/abandoned/fought against her her (or at least she might see it that way). What did she have left to fight for?

Sure, we know Lilie didn't give up on her but how did it look to her broken mind? When the moments of clarity came (if they ever did) what would that realization do to her?



The Lusamine you see in the game is the end result of all of this on top of having a parasite poisoning her mind. Calling her a horrible human being seems a touch harsh IMO.
