I gave the cure to Lara, an NPC in this game. This marks the second time I've prioritized her and treated her like a human being. Now, I wasn't just giving up the cure, expecting to die. This was a small consolation, but I was expecting to be rewarded in another way.
I didn't give up the cure just to get this reward, because that would be wrong, but I did expect to get a reward and I was not disappointed. The system notification system dinged, notifying me of incoming messages.
[Sacrifice Recognized]
[300 Karma Points earned]
[Shikasa's Favor increased by 90]
[Lara's Affinity: +300]
Nice! I didn't know what I was going to spend my karma points on or what having that much affinity with Lara would do, but I liked seeing numbers go up. Especially when they went up by that much.
