I could stand to live in that society. I know someone who might love to live in it.
Ultimate is an interesting word, that way.
And the second paragraph, the italicised part, strikes me again to the point where I have trouble putting words to any of it. I suppose there are many points of the spectrum of that mingling: whether it's a monster deciding to abate and lick your wounds, or a monster who takes and takes until all is lost but is still there with you, is still the psychopomp guiding you to safe ground beyond the limits of what safety can provide. I'm talking more about the second, and you the first, I think, but they both fall under that (very powerful) descriptor you've given there.
