What does that have to do with YoRHa androids eating mackerels?

I didn't want to go back and re-read Floornight because it makes me nervous but I can't put this out of my head.

One of the main characters is a Japanese girl named Aya Hanagaki who is the kind of person who would kill you to protect the people she cares about (in a very "the only reason people kill each other is over honor" way)

The story involves her and an android who she lives with and is deeply worried about (because a certain character thinks he's "good but dumb and will hurt her if she lets him" and has already tried to kill him several times). A robot whose model name is "Mister Big," who has been programmed to value her life highly and to protect her unconditionally, is going to become her boyfriend but is nervous about that because the other android, "Mister Dark," the "good but dumb robot," will hate him for this and try to kill him because he "hurt" Aya Hanagaki. Mister Dark wants to keep Mister Big because he likes him a lot. Mister Dark, who is also Aya Hanagaki's father, and Mister Big both want to protect her and both want to be loved by her. Mister Big and Mister Dark also represent two of the most important and dominant figures in her life (her parents and a teacher).

Aya Hanagaki likes Mister Big and does not want to break his heart. However, she and Mister Dark both want to keep Mister Big's "goodness" safe and out of danger. They can only do that by pretending Mister Big is a danger to her and that his own desire to protect her is bad and that he is inferior to Mister Dark. (For what it's worth, she has already broken up with Mister Big.) Aya Hanagaki cannot admit to herself or anyone else that she values and loves her boyfriend. So she has created this elaborate fantasy – which is also, of course, a story which is being told, very directly, by Aya Hanagaki herself – that Mister Dark will come to despise Mister Big and then kill him in a "manly way."

There is... so much about it that I don't like. It's ahistorical (i.e., historically inaccurate), it holds a number of problematic anthropological assumptions it could often veer into antisemitism, it complete misunderstands what modern Anglospheric Abrahamic religion is, and on and on and on.

But just to address the first thing: the Hebrew Bible was not written by Bronze Age nomads!

In fact, monotheistic Abrahamic religion was a very literate, educated, urban phenomenon. Israelite religion in the late Bronze and early Iron Age put YHWH as the supreme national god of Israel, but other gods were acknowledged and worshipped. It wasn't that different from other Levantine/Mesopotamian religion, which often was polytheistic but with a specific national god (Aššur, Marduk, etc.).

But after the fall of the northern Kingdom of Israel, urban, educated, literate Judahites started to grapple philosophically with what had happened, and with both the precarious position of the Kingdom of Judah and the injustices they saw within the Kingdom. That reckoning continued through the Babylonian captivity.

Abrahamic religion as we know it grew from that intellectual milieu. The books of the Hebrew Bible were written throughout that period and into Hellenistic times, excepting a few short snippets of poetry and song that were (probably) composed in the 2nd millennium BCE. They were written by urban elites and counter-elites talking about the concerns of premodern educated urbanites.
