He was one of the Convocation members responsible for summoning Zodiark, and thus his will is not his own. He is bound to his god, and is incapable of going against His wishes.
The soul I possess belonged to dissented against the summoning of Zodiark. She left, then played a part in summoning Hydaelyn. While I am not tempered in the way Emet-Selch is, my soul belongs to Hydaelyn just as his belongs to Zodiark.
I fight for those we can yet save, and he fights for those he has lost. His wish is destroy all life that is and ever will be in order to bring back the lives that were. There is no middle ground, nor reasoning with him. He and I will never be of the same alignment. He tried to turn me into that monster and bring about the destruction of another world. He tried to kill those most dear to me. To restore Amaurot he would condemn all life and feel not an ounce of remorse for it.
That is why Emet-Selch died by my hand, Ardyn. And why I cannot feel such things for him, of all people.
