Hard choice but it sounds like banishing him would condemn him to live forever, no take-backsies.And as cruel killing him now after all the poo poo he's been through is, it seems to me that robbing him of the ability to die ever, no matter how much he might want it is even crueller.

Death.

I'm going with give Calli her powers back if only because I really don't think Stan should keep it. He says he's not going to cause people to kill themselves, but for all we know, he's going to try to gently nudge people with creative energy, only to accidentally whammy them again.

Personally, I feel the best option would be to give it to June (and maybe it'll do that if we murder Stan, but it's not guaranteed and we haven't really directly killed anyone yet, from what I recall), so this is probably the best option.

Also, notably when we said, "Stan? Earlier, you said 'dying to create art' was a triumph. Do you still feel that way?", Stan didn't answer us directly, he just said he would "try" not to murder people again. He really seems like the kinda guy that would keep making excuses when his Muse powers drove people to death. "Oh, I didn't mean to! I'm still learning! Give me another chance!"

Better it to be in the hands of an experienced person that knows the right amount of creative energy to impart on someone, than this guy who just opens the fire hose, as it were. Additionally, Calli was saying that she was feeling tired, and I'm wondering if that's because she either needs the Muse energy to keep going, or Stan's misuse of it was draining her somehow, since it was originally her power. Or maybe a side-effect of when the demon yanked it out of her, idk.

I was under the impression that it was because she herself got caught by Stan carelessly inspiring everyone in range and she's kept spouting terrible poetry into an empty bar for hours without rest.

As for the choice itself, forcing Calliope to take the power back seems like the least terrible option by a slim margin.
