With that said, Vicious Ruby won't constantly manipulating everyone around her, in fact, she'll be very honest with people that she trusts. In some circumstances, however, She may choose to leave out a few details or fabricate them in order to get something that she wants.

Short Version: Vicious Ruby will be manipulative, but not to an extreme.

On another note, the form of Nihilism that Vicious Ruby will adopt as part of her thought process will be a mixture of:

Moral Nihilism: The view that nothing is right or wrong.

Existential Nihilism: The view that life has no meaning and a single person and/or humanity has no significance.

___________________________________________________________

These beliefs have merged to create what i call "Remnant Nihilism", the philosophy system of Vicious Ruby which has two basic principles:

1. The value of sentient being is solely based on their ability to ensure the survival of their species as a whole.

2. Good and Evil are constructs created and defined by society, and therefore, have no real meaning or purpose.

I'll go into more detail once I come with a refined version of this "Remnant Nihilism" philosophy. Hello. After reading through this explanation, I am a little confused. I believe that this philosophy could be considered dangerous by the government, because compared to other philosophies such as exsistentialism, nihilism has a higher possibility of attracting Grimm. The fact that such a philosophy was not known in our world until the 1900s makes it unlikely that Ruby would adopt nihilism, because that is not what a leader would do. It doesn't make sense given volumes 1-3.

Through the lyrics of Let's Just Live, we can tell that despite Ruby currently bottling up her emotions, she will eventually adopt an absurdist or exsistential mindset.

Would you please explain why? None of the reasons you gave are really compelling, and I'd like to understand.
