As well, there's this supposed cure to HER to be suspicious about. If there was a cure all along, why wasn't it widespread? Why weren't there more people cured? Why was HER an epidemic if there was an easily-accessed cure? So many questions that suddenly make me question Elluka as a good person. Because it wasn't actually a cure. HERs could only be treated with medicine. In this regard, Mothy portrays HER as a cross between schizophrenia and psychopathy.

Aside of that, your comment makes a lot of sense. If Elluka's power comes from Levia-Behemo, it's possible she wouldn't be able to stop demons even if she could. But, from all people, Held would know better. Why would he put Elluka, of all people, in charge of collecting the vessels? Except we don't have confirmation that it actually WAS treatable by medicine. And given Irina's reactions, then Elluka DID do something to suppress Kiril's HER. HER seems less to be a mental illness and more something that sticks with the soul while having a genetic factor.
