Except that in canon dissonance doesn't work that way. Angels don't  
get dissonance for doing something which humans would consider evil  
and likewise demons don't get dissonance for doing good deeds.  
Celestial have very few things that that they get dissonance for  
according to their Choir/Band and Word. Otherwise, there would be no  
need for Judgment or the Game. For me, this feels like a "if Game  
hears about it they will torture and execute you" instead of a discord  
situation. And no, those are not identical situations.

If this is fiction, then you might have a basis for Selfless discord.

However, in a game just suddenly throwing discord to a PC in an  
uncanon way is simply unfair. If you've discussed it before with the  
player(s) and they're okay with it, then maybe. But it still means  
that the Symphony is keeping a closer eye on the Lilim unless every  
other Band and Choir get an extra dissonance condition as well.
