On the one hand, people have been predicting various Sinners going on crashout arcs since pretty much launch, it's kind of an expected part of theorizing at this point despite it never happening outside a given Sinner's Canto. On the other, it really feels like predictions about the Sinners getting big mad at Faust during her Canto are disproportionately focused on when it comes to theorizing about what's gonna happen.
Like, let's be honest: is the crew of The Bus You Fuel By Throwing Corpses Into A Meat Grinder gonna back-to-back welcome Mr. Former Nazi and General War Crimes with open arms and then scorn The Homunculus With No Free Will? Is Ms. Eats People (who Regular Check-up already implies has a clue over what the deal with P Corp was and just isn't confronting Faust or Dante) gonna be upset about the desecration of a body when she, again, has a 9-to-5 killing people and throwing their corpses into a meat grinder?
Even beyond that, on the writing side, is PM gonna write Moses outright saying in Twining Threads that problems in our heads inflate drastically beyond the reality of the situation and then turn to the character with The Embodiment Of Intrusive Thoughts And Self-Hatred constantly connected to her brain and declare that no, actually, in this specific instance her worries about all her friends hating her and turning on her over something she, again, does not have the freedom to choose about is actually correct?
Given how Cantos X and XI are currently predicted to go and how the Sinners will likely develop from them, I find it far more likely that (probably with some snark or criticism), the Sinners encourage Faust to try and be better; in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing is set off by the Gesellschaft but results in Faust getting the willpower she needs to stand up to them. After all, just like Mephistopheles in Goethe's version, the Gesellschaft is probably gonna be the ones to set themselves up for failure by trying to have their cake and eat it too (in this case presumably by trying to profit off of Faust's success and get to still torment her for their own entertainment).
