What do you need to beat time itself? Answer; the power of a god. Six is one step closer to that. Question is, will she still care in the end?
Even if she does manage to attain this kind of power, Six has yet to show any remorse for the evil she has done. Such as killing that poor Nome just because she could, refusing to help any of the other children escape the Maw (clearly only caring for own damn escape) and, of course, allowing Mono to fall to his fate worse than death for no apparent reason.Given her pattern of behavior and betrayal, God help us all if this psychopath attains the power of a goddess.
Also, from what I hear, LN is no longer a priority to Tarsier Studios and, they have shifted their focus onto other projects ("onwards and upwards, chingaderos!")
But even if the developers decide to continue, they have yet to weave a single tale in the LN universe with a happy ending so, why should I believe this is going to be any different all of a sudden?

Taking someone by the hand and pulling them to safety is a persistent theme in LN2. What changed at the end of the game? Upon being abducted by the Thin Man, Six is separated from her shadow/soul in LN2. The shadow guides Mono to Six and after that, it guides Six to the Maw. Six was traumatized and made incomplete by the events of the game. Even with that being the case, the supposed betrayal was a matter of fate. It had to happen in order for Six to be freed at the start of LN2. The cycle had to be complete in order for her to potentially break it.
Six's soul now has to confront the monster she has unleashed. I like to think it's something she's done in order to save her friend.

There is no evidence Six ever gained the wisdom or insight or the clairvoyance required to know about the time loop which is responsible for the Thin Man. Nor is there any evidence Six had access to any knowledge Mono must become the Thin Man in order for the timeline to remain stable, thus saving us all.
Also, there is no proof that Six, no matter what her reasons for allowing Mono to fall, felt any heart-rending anguish for doing what she supposedly had to do. From the contemptuous manner she looked into Mono's eyes before wrenching her life-saving hand away ("get the fuck off me, motherfucker!") to the callous fashion she walked towards the exit without even a glance behind her absolutely screams "little girl with ice water in her veins."
If it makes you feel any better, I like to believe she's weally, weally sowwy for what she did but, the series isn't offering any clear cut reasons to believe this is the case. She did what she did and she's glad that she did it. Her actions couldn't have been any more malicious, needless, and cruel had she lifted Mono high over her head and tossed him into the pit. She's not sorry, amigo.

There is evidence.
The Thin Man's ironic punishment. He locked Six up with a music box as her only distraction. The precise set of circumstances under which Mono found and freed her from. Six knew Mono was the Thin Man, because the Thin Man told her so. She knows about the loop because she's experienced it from the beginning to the end.
The Thin Man wanted revenge on Six for her betrayal. In order for him to seek vengeance, she first has to betray Mono. In order to achieve his revenge, he has to set Mono forth into the world to free Six. So on and so forth.
It is a serious question if she cares enough about Mono to look for a way to rescue him. As I wrote before, breaking casualty requires the power of a god. Even if it's her heart's desire to save him, her heart's desire may be the price she has to pay to achieve the means to that end. I know a part of her cares about Mono. Will that part win in the end?

If Mono truly cared about Mono, if Six was doing what she had to do even though she desperately desired not to do it, she would have cried out in anguish after tearing her hand away from his. A desperate, wordless entreaty for her beloved champion to forgive her, an agonized prayer to Almighty God which could only be sufficiently expressed by a tormented scream. Yet, she did nothing of the kind. She just coldly watched him fall into the pitch black dark and then walked away. She did it because she wanted to do it and if she was given the chance, she would do it one and a thousand times over again.
No excuse. Even less so because she certainly wore her emotions on her sleeve when SHE was the one in need of saving. No, Six didn't have a problem screaming in terror and heartfelt compassion for her beloved self when she needed Mono to rescue her from the big, bad scary man known as the Thin Man, did she? No, she didn't.
But when she made the supposedly heart-rending decision to allow Mono to fall and then watched him plummet to his disgraceful demise? More silent than a thousand graveyards.
