And then comes what makes me truly pity her. She's now completely trapped as the Divine Maiden, with no options whatsoever left to her, unable to make a single choice for herself anymore.
She goes to talk to the MC and he doesn't spare her even a millisecond of concern. He just tells her he can't love her, as if love is all there is to her situation. He can treat her with consideration even if he can't love her.
If he's the Heavenly Demon, he has to think about more than just revenge.
