    OH MY GOD! When the nail smith told me to kill him, I 100% thought,

    But I never even went to go check on Sheo at all even with that thought in my mind.

      Well on people’s behalf who’ve killed him, life in Hallownest is awful, everyone is a zombie and it’s all about if you can kill or not, and the player knows the infection is rapidly getting worse, and you could only assume he would be infected and driven mad like the rest if you left him alive.

      Nah. An important life lesson irl is that not everything that you want is what's better for you. Not everyone gets to learn that but, the moment you let him live, he gets a new opportunity in life.
      Killing him here for this reason is like being able to stop someone from comitting suicide but, just because they want to, you let them do it anyway: You'll be arrested and people will despise you for it

    This reminds me of the time I saved Cloth THEN fought the traitor lord. I felt so bad but, then she mentioned someone named Nola (I think) who I assumed was a sibling or close friend of hers that had probably been dead for quite some time so, I thought “I guess in a way this was a happy ending for her”. Still cried though.

Knowing how he served me in my journey i felt obligated to serve him in his, so with solemn stoicism I charged the most powerful single strike I could muster lest he survive and feel failure in his work....
