Judgment · 12:06pm Apr 4th, 2020
In the chapter titled "Tutorial Mid-Boss" (chapter 17), I left Manny's choice on a cliffhanger.
So…
*[SPARE]* or *[ATTACK]*?
After a bit of contemplation, he made his choice.
This won't be the last time this happens with a Boss. This is the route function for the story, but instead of Pacifist, neutral, Genocide. It'll be naïve faith, reluctant faith, or faithless. And unlike in Undertale, there won't be a clear indication on what path will lead to the most desirable out come. Any one of them could either lead to the good ending, a game over that even a RESET can't undo, the bad end, or the true end. Which end we get will be decided by you all. At the time of Judgment, I'll create a blog post and put the link in the author notes. In that blog post, I'll put all the names of the enemies that forced Manny to make this choice and give a brief summary of what Manny knew about them at the time, and what was going on during the time. You'll then comment on who Manny killed, and who Manny SPAREd.
Though be warned those who seem harmless or have a justified reason, could possibly be the ones who lead us to a bad end or game over. While the ones who seem like they should be killed could possibly be needed for the good or true end. Some might have a negative reaction to Manny SPAREing some of them, others might have a positive reaction. Same with killing. And to ensure this system works, the characters who Manny had to make this choice with, will not appear until Manny's judgment. Nor will anyone say what happened until his Judgment.
To make extra sure that there's not plot holes, Manny will never be the only person with the Boss. For example, since Betty and 4v3s were there, it's entirely possible they decided to either stop Manny from Killing Hannah, or one of them were the ones to kill her. Some of you may not like this feature, but in reality, you don't always have a 100% clear picture of what choices could backlash, or help you out, at the time of you making that choice. Your actions, and choices, have consequences. And keep in mind, Manny isn't the brightest bulb in the pack. You choose whether he SPAREs or kills, but he chooses HOW he does either. Keep that in mind when you make your choice.

I know this is a late response, but I just now figured out what you actually meant by your comment.
First of all, this is a notice so all readers are aware of an important feature of the story, no votes will be counted until I make the blog post directly connected to Manny’s Judgement.
Second of all, Hannah isn’t the only Boss in the story, and this post is for all Bosses, not just Hannah.
Third, just as a heads up, I’ll be putting a link to this post in the author’s note in every future chapter until Manny’s judgement. But remember, this is just a reminder, not the actual thing.
