That's precisely why I said "as I interpreted" - without any other confirmation of it, it's nothing more than a theory and I don't want to give the impression that it's anything besides what I felt like the lyrics were getting at. Sorry if that was unclear!

The idea of Malice and HER being sort of two stages of the same thing is interesting and could definitely be the case. It seems like you can't have HER without Malice, but the reverse is not necessarily true in the same way that a banana is a fruit but not all fruits are bananas.

However, Kiril was said to have manifested HER symptoms, and we don't have a solid link that he'd ever killed.
