In an esoteric way, yes, I find it sad that her brainwashing led her to do that. At the same time, in a more pragmatic way, regardless of how damaged people came to be, you really do have to treat them as they are, the whole finished product.

This lady was a dangerous antagonist to me, to my kin, to my folk, to my family, to my entire existence and way of life. There wasn't a minute of her life she didn't spend trying to undermine the foundations of my safety, security, potential prosperity. She didn't just have opinions, she actively worked for the destruction of what I believe to be Good, and the ascendance and victory of what I know to be Evil.

If I was a floating brain in a jar, maybe I could spare the sympathy to find the situation sad, in a literary, academic way.

As a creature made of meat, who has children, and is responsible for both myself and for a small clan of kin, not only am I not sad, I am glad that this awful piece has saved good folk the time and bother by removing herself from the board.
