I'm not sure I have. As for why I didn't allow that...there are three reasons.
Firstly, I made a promise to Miss Enoshima's sister; in return for her cooperation, I would ensure that Miss Enoshima would not be harmed for her role in driving Peromei to despair. Her sister...I believe her to be genuine in not wanting Miss Enoshima to succeed, but she also wants to protect her sister which I cannot exactly fault her for. And we would have a much easier time on our hands if we secured her sister as an ally rather than an enemy. Miss Ikusaba is fearsome in battle. She bested me in combat like it was mere child's play to her. I would rather have her on our side, and I hope to see if I can bring her into the fold of the Enforcers. She seems like she is in need of comradeship and it would be good to keep her away from her sister's influence.
Secondly, there is no hope to be found in killing Miss Enoshima. She will simply return again and again. It is a futile effort to contain her, and she may even welcome her deaths as an opportunity to enjoy despair.
Thirdly, and this is my worst fear. If Peromei had killed Miss Enoshima back then, the people would begin to expect the worst out of the Arehtei. Miss Enoshima could easily warp the story to feature herself as a victim to her own emotions, unable to control her despair and having to pay the price for that. That would cause panic, mistrust, and yes, despair, among the people, many of whom are already in fear of the Arehtei in the first place. The Arehtei are already regarded as deranged. The deliberate death of Miss Enoshima would push them into the same category as murderers. We could explain the situation to the people but it would offer little comfort to those who find it difficult to uphold their spirits.
So for the three reasons listed above I could not allow Miss Enoshima's death.
