If you wish to avoid a discussion of morality, don't read the spoiler text. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />[sblock]There was an argument on a thread a while ago which weighed morality based upon intent, act and consequence. Some held that an act was evil if the intent and the act were evil, others discounted intent and held consequences to be of the most import. One example given was a woodsman cutting down a tree which fell upon, and killed, a child. The "consequence basis of morality" held that because an evil result came from cutting down the tree, then the action of cutting was evil.In this strip, the consequence of Shojo dying does not occur until after the withdrawl of grace, so it is not his death that makes Miko's act evil. This strip seems to support the argument that intent and action are the more important factors in determining an action's morality.[/sblock]</blockquote>
