** RuleOfCool. Say what you want about [[spoiler:Yomeil, but you can't deny that the guy's got ''style'']].


Added DiffLines:

** It's pretty much stated that [[spoiler:Yomeil had totally lost it. He'd careened over the DespairEventHorizon essentially from the moment he walked out of the morgue and discovered what had happened to him. Things ''[[ItGotWorse went downhill from there]]'', and it took five years of steadily growing despair and loneliness before he took action against those he'd decided were responsible for his pain. That doesn't mean anything he did was anywhere ''near'' the realm of okay. Once Lynne snaps him back to sanity and he has a HeelFaceTurn, he himself says this straight out]].
--->[[spoiler:'''Jowd:''' We might not be able to change your fate of dying.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Yomiel:''' ...]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Yomiel:''' I can accept that.]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Jowd:''' ...!]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Yomiel:''' What I did is inexcusable. No matter how the future might change, that fact will never go away. If my fate is to die here... [''smiles''] then I accept that.]]
** (continued) [[spoiler:RedemptionEqualsDeath is averted when he's thrown back onto a spike, but is merely rendered unconscious. His response to this?]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Sissel:''' [''after seeing Yomeil impaled through the back on a spike''] This fate is too painful to watch -- in every sense...]]
--->[[spoiler:'''Yomiel:''' I don't think so. [''grins''] As long as I'm alive... that's good enough for me.]]
** (continued) He wasn't a DeathSeeker; he had simply accepted that death would be his fate. He was ''relieved'' that it had changed. Except... [[spoiler:Lynne was about to be crushed by the massive mino, with no conceivable way to save her. Jowd, Sissel, and Missile were panicking, because there was ''nothing'' they could do. By virtue of simply not doing a damn thing, Yomeil could easily have forced Sissel to go with the plan that Yomeil had suggested: Let Lynne die, then just go back and change her past, psychological scars be damned.\\
Instead, Yomeil reminds them of [[PeoplePuppets his own power]], and promptly throws ''his own body'' into the path of the mino to save her, believing that he would die with no chance of being brought back. He would be crushed to death, his fiancee would commit suicide ''again''... and he did it anyway.\\
Personally, while I don't think that any of that ''excuses'' him -- Yomiel himself said it best, that nothing he could do would be enough to excuse him -- I think that what he did after going back to the past, along with willingly spending ten years in jail to pay for the crimes that he still did commit in the changed timeline, ''and'' the fact that they [[EarnYourHappyEnding earned a happy ending]] and no one but the four of them would ever remember all of that suffering, it's [[{{YMMV}} conceivably]] enough to ''forgive'' him. Not forgive his actions, but to forgive Yomeil himself.]] Or at least put the past where it belongs and move on.\\
I'd also like to point out that while he did [[spoiler:take Lynne hostage before he went nuts, he was clearly panicked and desperate at the time, and it's never made clear whether or not he actually would have harmed her. Again, taking a child hostage is ''[[{{Understatement}} not okay]]''. But there's still a huge difference between "taking hostage" and "killing".]]

* [[spoiler: In new timeline at the end of the game, Yomiel has been in prison for TEN YEARS...]] But for what, exactly? He was proven innocent of the conspiracy in which he was implicated, and even though he [[spoiler: broke out of prison and took a hostage, he then saved her life immediately after.]] Why on earth would this result in such a punishment? And couldn't Jowd have stopped it?

* Why is [[spoiler:Yomiel]] portrayed as sympathetic? Sure he is [[spoiler:given a tragic backstory and has had a pretty shitty life.

And this is just what he does to Kamila! What's more, he shows no remorse until he's been stabbed in the back. But because he's not had a nice life, the entire last hour of the game is dedicated to making him a sympathetic character, and even the last image of the game is a TearJearker image of him drawing a picture of his precious cat. The actions I mentioned are MoralEventHorizon by most people's standards, no matter how crap your life has been.

*** There's a couple physics things that may help to explain.
**** A bullet is small and when it hits the impact has a higher pressure since pressure is inversely proportional to surface area. This is why it is easier to pop a balloon with a needle than say your finger.
**** Also it is possible that when objects are switched velocity is not conserved, but the kinetic energy is instead. An object with more mass moving a slower speed and an object with less mass moving at faster speed might have the same energy. So switching a sweet potato with double the mass of a bullet with a bullet moving at typical bullet speed might result in the sweet potato moving at half bullet speed (which has equivalent kinetic energy).
**** The equation for Kinetic energy is KE = (0.5)mv^2. Now say, KE of the bullet prior to switch equals KE of the potato after the switch. Let's say the bullet is moving 1 bullet speed (or BS) and has a mass of 1 bullet (or bu). The potato has a mass of 2 bu. So: (0.5)*1 bu*(1 BS)^2 = (0.5)*2 bu*v^2 -> 1 bu * 1 BS^2 = 2 bu*v^2 -> (1/2)BS^2 = v^2 -> SQRT(1/2) BS = v -> So basically, considering the bullet is half the mass of the potato and that Kinetic Energy is conserved, then the potato will slow down to about 70% of the speed of the bullet. Granted, the potato is probably more than twice the mass of the bullet resulting in even more slow down. After that count in air resistance and other physic crap and you might be able to survive an impact from a roasted potato flying at an equivalent of a bullet's kinetic energy, granted you probably will not be a happy camper none-the-less. I'd like to think the Kinetic Energy thing applies because it follows the Energy Cannot be created model of the Universe and gives the most plausibility to something as odd as this.

**** Actually, you go back to wear the corpse lies. Jowd's body was moved from the location of death to the table in the next room. You appear in the past at the table. Same thing goes for every other death, expect the two involved with a trick within a trick. I'm inclined to believe that the change in location has something to do with the double trick. Though the cop could be explained that his body was touching the van so it acted as a frame of reference, if he landed in the restaurant it may have started there. This doesn't explain the other one though. Maybe because of the nature of the body constantly be returned to the point just before death and the body was technically in the part at the time of death, maybe the park was still somehow a frame of reference. It could also be that these two deaths had crossed particularly long distances since the 4 minutes before death moment. Maybe its a feature of the powers of the dead that you are close enough to the living body to see the person involved. For example, another common point is you generally find that the dead person has more or less been in the area they die in for the entire duration of the 4 minutes, with the only real oddballs being the cop and Yomiel. In fact, now that I mention it... there are actually a lot of unique things about those two case that stand out. The were both encountered within a trick, their corpses were both really far away from the location they were at four minutes prior to death, and their deaths were the direct causes of deaths that you were trying to prevent in the context of the first trick in the double tricks.
