Honestly, I keep feeling I got lucky when I saved Kate. It's brutal to suddenly lose your powers, because save/reload is how you've been trained! Every decision becomes fraught with consequence because you've been given the freedom to explore consequences. (Though in this case, a lot of it seems to come down to how much investigation you did of Kate's room.)
One issue I had is that, at least for me, the scene had a split tone; they didn't quite set it up smoothly. As a result, I saw moments where Kate would careen from "yeah, I guess they do love me..." to "... but I can't live anymore!" in the span of a couple seconds. Seeing the seams like that was a little unfortunate.
