As long as I was certain that I could contain the demon, I would. It's better to save a loved one rather than seeing him/her die.

Well that is a simple no to that question. Authur just seemed weird to me from the very beginning anyway...he would definitely do something that crazy.

If I was loving that person and I couldn't do anything better then yes, otherwise I wouldn't do it and probably let the demon alone or disengage and retreat.

I believe that I would if it would save someone very dear to me.
No idea is a bad idea.

Honestly, if it was to save someone I love more than myself or if it was the sacrifice of one life to save many, it would be worth the risk/ sacrifice. It wouldn't be for glory/ martyrdom/ or heroics, it would probably the right thing to do in the situation.

I love selfless characters and those heroes that give their life for their dear lady; favorite! But dying is one thing to getting possessed by a demon, don't you think?

seeing that she was his only family and there was a glint of hope that he could save her, he had to take the chance. I think I would have done the same, family mean a lot to me and I would do anything for them.

We do not know much about these characters. Maybe we get to know about them in the further installments. But
from what I know about Arthur now and what he did for Abigail, I really cant tell whether i would have done the same for her or not!

You do have to take a stand for what you believe even if you didn't like, love or even know the person. If you're in difficulty, wouldn't you want someone to step in to help you? I would!

There is no doubt in my mind that I would die to save my son’s life. The problem comes when thinking about my immortal soul.

You can only think about what you would have done when you are presented with the full picture but in the heat of the moment it’s different.
