Exactly - as I read the story.

This is Clio's act of fulfulling and affirming the trust her followers have
placed in her.

For **her** side - the winning side, evolutionarily ascendant - this is a
triumphant affirmation of their group morality and group strength.

To the other, the losing, side, it is a lethal betrayal of the deepest form
of human trust.
