But if stopped after the First Twilight, those people have still been brutally murdered.
So she wants to be stopped enough that she will give them the chance to prevent any deaths whatsoever, but after that? Screw it.
That just seems... off, somehow.

According to an interview Ryukishi said something along the line of how criminals wants to be stopped... which is fine and dandy if Yasu were to be a psycopath criminal and we could say bye to the heart.
No, the problem with Yasu is she came out insane.
Let's compare it with Kyrie. She said she wanted to kill Asumu because Asumu was a source of pain to her. It has a logic on its own as once Asumu is out of the picture she can marry Rudolf as she actually did if she was smart enough not to get caught.
If we want to give Kyrie more moral values we can assume she too wanted to be stopped and it can work because if she were to be stopped fast enough no harm would be done.
Now let's take Yasu:
By bribing and threatening she starts already to make harm.
The method of killing isn't practical, it doesn't imply she wanted to be stopped. It's insane.
The purpose for all of it? Basically she destroy her whole world, herself included if she have success. I wouldn't call this an improvement toward happiness.
If she fails her life will worsen.
That's real there's people who kill his whole family and then kill themselves for... reason X both in real life and movies (let's pick up "Seven" for example in which the murderer in the end purposely cause his own dead) but this sort of people is presented as insane.
We aren't asked to understand the heart of this guy. This guy had something wrong right from the beginning so, even if he has 'reasons' to do what he did, in the end the main cause is he's not thinking straight.
Even if this guy had a really sad, tragical story, this wouldn't be justification enough to say he's sane in what he does.
