Just to add to the point about Pale. The term for "malice" is 悪意, which is also used for the "Evil" in HER in the Lunacy novel's prologue (Japanese alongside the English).

The term is also used for Pale's title, 悪意の主.

Also, I may have found the mistranslation causing the confusion.

自分と同じ姿をした者たちは全て

I translated this as "general" but I'm not expert at Japanese grammar, so the "全て" at the end may be the subject "all" instead, which could change the meaning of the phrase to..

"All who had my same appearance are spreading malice in this country. The mass outbreak of HER― Was it not a sign of its destruction? The only exception is I and that Seth Twiright." etc. etc. etc.

Someone far more understanding of the language, please confirm or correct me on this.
