True, but if what the Lunarians said is true, they too are to be sympathised with. It's a sad story all around regardless
Really? I don't see it that way.
Let's assume what they're saying is completely true with no manipulation or anything mixed in.
They're willing to sacrifice completely innocent lives as a means to hopefully guilt and physiologically torture someone that doesn't want anything to do with them into doing what they want purely for their own benefit.
Why would they deserve sympathy, especially if they were corrupted souls in the first place?
People don't deserve to have something just because they want it.
