Am I the only one?

JustSomeGuy-

I chose for Clementine to stay behind when Kenny brutalized Carver, but I didn't do it for the sake of vengeance. I thought it would be best to have her stay in case Troy had come along earlier, or some other bad thing happened. I didn't think it would be so simple. In my opinion, the obvious choice is not to have Clem stay and watch, but I thought TTG was playing mind games with me by making me think I should have Clem leave only to result in something bad happening to Bec and Kenny behind her back. I really, really didn't mean to have her stay and watch Carver's head get turned into a goddamn hole. The worst part is that Clementine seemed to savor it, as if satisfied with Carver getting what I honestly think was even more than he had coming. I will definitely take this back in a future playthrough because I just wanted Clem to be there on the off chance things got bad... the very last thing I wanted for her was to witness a massacre and have her psyche get numbed even more to senseless and brutal violence.

I didn't do it for vengeance either, I did it because it felt right and I guess I unknowingly disregarded how it'd effect Clementine. It looked like she struggled with it for a while until something just clicked, some kind of desensitisation setting in. At the same time, I don't regret watching. I feel like Clementine needed to see it for her own good, though thats not a statement made lightly.

No. I told her to leave, but not in fear of someone in trouble, but in fear of her mental state. She has seen so many horrible things that this is unnecessary to watch. Carver calls me weak, a sheep, a follower, but I believe I was brave by not watching a man I hated suffer. I proved to him that I'm not like him, and that satisfies me. I'm quite glad I didn't watch. I watched on youtube what happened if you stayed and it was brutal. And your right. Clementine seemed to be satisfied with the punishment Carver received. She showed no remorse, or pity for him. She just watched, as Kenny bashed his face in.

It just seemed more moral not to watch because she's a little girl, and watching Carver die would be sickening, and changing. I know she needs to grow up... "But I don't want her to stop caring about people." Believe it or not I tried to convince the others to spare Carver with Luke. Call me stupid but that was just my opinion. I was okay with him dying, but the way in which it was done was gruesome. This episode was truly a fight of emotions, and change. Is it time for Clementine to change? To make hard decisions to survive? I hope it doesn't come to this but at some point in the future I can assure you there will be a decision of survival, or paying the price of keeping innocence. And when that point comes we will see, what kind of person that we all are, and how this game has affected us all.
