Nah. Ilias still has a good amount of respect towards Luka by the end. More than she ever did. Even if he turned against her, she doesn't hold it against him anymore. I'd say either Micaela and/or Lucifina would be closer to being Judas. Ilias hasn't really forgiven either of those two, yet. And in NG+, she considers her a sanctimonious, misguided twat. I feel sort of the same way.

Originally, I scripted the beginning to take place in the middle of the final battle. By the time Micaela shows up, Ilias is so bored and fed up with the fight, that she literally slaps Micaela aside saying, "I don't have to listen to you!  You don't even have a rape scene!  You don't even have a soul!" From there, I couldn't decide whether Ilias would harpoon her for having less impact on the flow events than Indiana Jones did in Raiders of the Lost Ark, or whether her lack of rape scene CG makes her any better than Amira and the Unfortunates. Or maybe both. So yeah. No real lost love between those two.
