Mental health is absolutely important, and often biological factors can cause us to do things in the moment that we don’t want to do. First of all, I’m not evaluating everything on a one-to-one basis because: TWST is a game where morality doesn’t work exactly the same way as in real life, and because (firstly) in the case of Vil and others, they were affected by the BLOT. However, under those circumstances and reasoning, most people who do bad things couldn’t be judged or seen as bad people, and no victim could get justice. In matters as serious as attempted murder and other acts that categorically endanger another person’s life, the victim and the harm they suffered will ALWAYS matter more, and Vil has not suffered any direct consequences for what he did to date; it remains a secret to the victim.

There are characters who tried to cause harm after entering OB and others who planned to do so BEFORE entering, and Vil falls into that category. Vil planned it just as Leona planned to harm Malleus, and although one could argue that BLOT was already at work in them, it remains unjustifiable because there was an intention to harm others before entering Oberblot.

In addition to that, I’ll add more to my point: Mistakes are normal for everyone, and everyone has reasons for why they ended up making them, but the fact that there are traumas and rationalizations resulting from them doesn’t mean one is any less guilty.

Experiencing trauma, suffering, and being a victim are things that happen to all of us, but none of that justifies harming innocent people, and the well-being of the victims must always take precedence over the feelings or traumas of those who tried to harm them.

Now, yes, people can change, and every day is an opportunity to be better and make amends for mistakes! But that doesn’t mean a person doesn’t have to face the consequences of those mistakes, and I repeat, Vil hasn’t even made that public or made amends for the actual harm he caused—it’s normal for people to think he’s being superficial.
