Xenoblade Chronicles X - Lao

I'm sorry, but am i the only one who in a weird parallel universe, was rooting for him???? Meaning, what would have been if he had jumped off Luxaar, after stabbing him (and therefor not being consumed by the liquid and not turning into the final boss)? I really liked him as a character (with his motives i really felt for him), and how would it have been, if he had been taken back (yes maybe to jail or something), but seeing him trying to repent for what he had done......i just hate that he is gone as a playable character and that there are soooo many unanswered questions now. NEED A SEQUEL TO THIS.......ASAP!!!!!
