Always found it a bit strange that in a No Mercy Run, Clover reduces Asgore -- the strongest monster in the Underground -- along with the flowerbed, the throne, and wall behind him into ash, and utterly decimates Axis with one Justice blast, meanwhile Zenith Martlet can take dozens of those and still keep standing... at least until I remember how reluctant Clover is to fight Martlet. They let her escape twice before the final fight and give her the opportunity to monologue as well as inject herself with DT when it would've been better to just shoot first. Hell, they even have to pry into her memories just to muster up a reason to hate her (and don't seem to come up with anything). No matter how much they grew to hate monsterkind on their journey, Clover seems to genuinely like/respect the hell out of her. They don't want her to die. But she also stands in the way of their goal, so they have to kill her. Even if their heart's not in it.
