This choice doesn’t affect the outcome of this act of Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance, but does impact your alignment and, ultimately, the ending of the game.

In Vengeance, all your choices affect the ending you get, which can either be Law-aligned or Chaos-aligned. Every time you make a choice, your reply is moving a meter toward one ending or the other.

  • If you say, “We have to help her (Sahori),” you’re contributing to the Law alignment. This is the choice you should make if you want to get the Law-aligned ending.
  • If you say “We have to kill Lamu”, you’re contributing to the Chaos alignment. This is the choice you should make if you want to get the Chaos-aligned ending.

Generally speaking, the Law-aligned choices always appear at the top and to the left, whereas the Chaos-aligned choices always appear at the bottom and to the right in Shin Megami Tensei V Vengeance.
