even here he's kind of in denial
Valentina is a LITERAL Angel, and has been so demonstrably good and pure-hearted that for the last 60 years, the entire Superpower Detente is based around everyone trusting the fact she doesn't lie and genuinely is an angel sent from heaven to protect the world, so she can be relied on to mediate conflicts, verify stuff like Magus's power estimates, etc.
None of that applies to Etienne. He says "Our existence is fundamentally immoral" when REALLY it's "MY existence is fundamentally immoral."

Valentina is such a sweetheart that when she got fucking nuked and everyone around her died while she was completely fine, she went to live in space instead so nobody would be hurt if they tried again. Magus was right(RIP), they ARE nothing like each other.
