** By the end of it all, Lobo even refuses to work for you any longer, almost every other villain in the game has joined forces with the surviving protagonists to take you down, and winning the final battle leads to you devouring Gig's soul and completely annihilating Haephnes, Drazil, and ''yourself''. And Revya's motivation for doing all this? Probably the same reason the player picked this path: [[ForTheEvulz because it seemed fun]].

*** There is another, possibly more disturbing explanation for Trish's mental state by the time you reach her. It's revealed that Hawthorne not only rapes the girls he raises, he kills them afterwards. It is very possible that he does so using poison to make it look more like natural causes. Perhaps, by the time you reach her, the poison has already destroyed her mind and is killing her body as well.
