I fucked up my alignment points because I thought I could wing it instead of following a guide, and I was set to get chaos again (I've already done that ending). Was so annoyed I was feeling like dropping the playthrough event even this far in for a few minutes, but I found this livesaving tool and thankfully still had my save from right before kenji so I was able to course correct to neutral

Putting this tool out there in case anybody else is as stupid as me, trying to wing it in a game that notoriously has the worst alignment points system lmao. Odds are even if I didn't fuck myself into being TOO chaos I would have made myself TOO neutral and been unable to actually do neutral because of the epic forced +/- 10 choice at the end
