Why is he using the name Simpson when OL hasn't brought up his name in conversation yet, and seems to be telling Heph this for the first time?
Also, fucked up. He uses 'the ones who walk away from Omelas' reference last chapter as what is being done to the Titans is not a good thing, and how the people who want them released have a point. Then goes from that to talking about doing the same thing to a new Titan. Who he knows for sure is innocent of whatever (possibly trumped up charges for many of them) officially landed the other Titans in Tartarus, on account of being a new born.
Where apparently the Titan has enough personality that merging with the Titan instead is 'bad' but binding it in what I guess is the same way the Titans in Tartarus are is alright? ("I don't have anywhere that could store a titan" doesn't sound like he is going to be left free-range except for the binding)
...you know, it'd be hilarious if one day Zatanna ends up coming after him, for the same reasons they went after Nabu. Trying to turn people into parts. OL may have tunnel vision and only care about that stuff when it involves someone they care about, but many people who encounter stuff personally end up having a large problem with it in general. Having you dad get Nabu'd doesn't mean you are ambivalent to some stranger getting Starro'd, because it doesn't involve you; it means you draw parallels between their situation and your personal situation, and become even more pissed off then you would have been otherwise. They have no room for that sort of stuff in their ideal vision of how the universe should work. Something OL should be familiar with, seeing how he uses that example of how to manage high-concept desire as a talking point.
Honestly, this situation feels like Zoat-the-author being a big numpty here. OL has a forgone stuff like ring-construct minions because it made him uncomfortable.
