Alien is the wrong word here, maybe primordial concept of death would be better. Course this is the second attempt by her to end the world in the Persona series.
I'm aware about Philemon but he's not actively doing anything anymore so why is Nyarly different?

And I'm like 99% certain Ryoji says Nyx is extraterrestrial. She's not from the planet Earth at all. There are apparently multiple alien life forms in SMT anyway. Some group called the Administrators was one told to me elsewhere.

Part of me likes to think that the "Cruel to be Kind" attitude in P2, besides simply being a different attitude from a different time frame, might be the team swinging the other way around after P1 made it obvious that doing the more emotional answer despite logic saying it's the wrong choice, is always the right choice in that game in order to get the Best Ending. Seriously, the best advise I can give people for P1 and the SEBEC arc is to always do the opposite of what Nanjo/Nate tells you to do. That will answer 90% of the moral choices needed to get on the Best Ending track.
I should maybe play P1 sometime. Even the old school fans don't seem to like it much in my experience. Their reverence is reserved for P2.
