Really good. Liked the ongoing reveal that the demons they were destroying weren't mindless monstrosities but had a culture and artistry all their own. The dissonance at the end for Cordelia is well done (and harrowing) and the dismissal of the idea that the Lust demons could have been doing something harmless and beautiful works to both justify why they are so blinded in this moment to the non-threat before them as well as get the reader thinking about the labeling of these creatures as "demons" at all. It's a label that gives the sisters a free license to slaughter, but in this case is completely divorced from the malevolence that would actually make it reasonable.

What a story! Also really enjoy the hand drawn image in the mood board just for the entry. I usually do not take in the mood boards, but glad I did for this one
Loved it. Portraying Lust Daemons as something other than just manifested warriors there to kill creatures to further their Havoc God's presence in reality as an absolute made this story a welcome read (and I prefer Change Daemons personally, so thanks for that). This, to me, feels like it defo adheres to the differences between OPR Grimdark Future and that other game, at least in regard to the potential for ''Who said we're the bad guys?" and ally and infighting possibilities across the board. Look forward to more stories like this.
A very well-done and powerful work. I haven't finished rating everything, but I think this is easily going to be one of my favourite works from this jam. I really appreciated the poise between subtle hints and obvious revelations, dancing around the clear truth and letting the reader see what the Sisters can't.
I liked this, especially in the non-typical use of the DoL. What I also find interesting is the various takes on factions, for instance the deceased story driver individual in your story, I never viewed it like that, but also brings up what if it wasn’t actually true (just thought to be, and people are avenging what doesn’t need to be) and what impact would that have on how the factions viewed themselves on discovery?
