Oh boy, oh boy, I'm feeling so utterly guilty now. So guilty that I have this urge to tell people about it, hence this post.
So, and this will contain
SPOILERS
I was looking for the lost heiress, okay, it was really straightforward. Then at the final choice I didn't really pay attention at what the button said (the ominous "End her"), and I figured that I would save the lady. I did pay attention to the texts, and it was really a logical conclusion: I was saving her by freeing her from the clay. My motives were utterly pure. Okay, maybe it wouldn't have been the right decision anyway, maybe the transformation would have worked... but I figured such a thing wouldn't work. "She cannot be flesh again," the Clay Man said, but really, who would have believed him? I figured the whole thing was just the bizarre idea of a dimwitted clay man and a silly girl. Yes, maybe it would not have been the right decision anyway, but still, I was determined to set her free.
I really didn't mean to kill her. My face, and I mean the face of the guy sitting at the computer, was literally burning with shame, and I even forgot to record the event in my journal as I clicked frantically to have this undone. Oh boy...
Well. It's good character-building stuff, I suppose. Now I have to live with the shame, and the fact it costs a tale of terror to enter the clay quarters.

There is no good ending to the Comtessa's story.

It just depends on you. If you think the Comtessa lived relatively happy, the she is.

either she lives as a regretably clay being- regretably because she has been demoted to the bottom of the social order- or she dies. those are the only two options, i believe.

I don't think that the Comtessa was going to make the transition to a Clayman. She would have just stayed a statue I believe. Atleast that is how I interpreted it.

I interpreted it as she'd become a clay man, like any other- but you really had very little information. it was all conjecture and hearsay- which i suppose is most citizen's knowledge of clay men, but still.

She'd probably become a Clayman, given that she has gone to their birthplace and get recreated by the mystic air somehow. Of course I didn't know such a place at that time, and I don't regret it, not even at the tomb colonies. I'm a hedonist.

Once you visit Polythreme and learn some more about the origins of Clay Men, the Comtessa's fate in her clay form should be fairly clear.
Edit: Comtessa, damn it.
