MenachemtiberiusI love that they finally went into the admin's back story.Did they tho? This comic really just gave me "okay here's a happy ending, no further questions, byeeee!"
spoilered for anyone who cares ig

By the end the admin doesn't even know why she's doing it anymore. Pretty sure it's a metaphor for how meaningless war is and how people will just continue cycles of violence for legacy's sake. It ends because Pauling breaks the cycle of violence instead of choosing to perpetuate it
As for her true backstory:
We are given glimpses ourselves with the 3 alternate shots of her murdered parents. The most "accurate" one being the first one. A crowbar next to the broken door, house ablaze, parents murdered. It implies Zepheniah benefited from their murders
My guess is a land (or money) dispute. Even Zepheniah's ancestors' graves are maintained by the admin so it seems personal, not a family vendetta. The stairs look like those at the Mann mansion further in the comic? Zepheniah is shown to not care about destroying things for his own image with the statue of the thinker. I'm guessing he murdered her parents to build the mansion on the stolen land
The 2 other shots of her murdered parents are more abstract. It might be the fading of her own memories of the events? The one with the ice is too abstract. the one where her parents are poisoned with the blueprints on the ground can't be real because those inventions didnt happen until Australium was properly researched
