Reminds of when I got dumped, and went out with an air rifle and shot a couple birds (would have been 3, but I missed with the last slug I found). Utterly out of character. I wonder (and doubt) if they (at least yet) likewise feel greatest remorse for their weakest moment [of "hurt people hurt people"].

... And reminds of [in Babylon5] when Lennier had a moment of fail, out of character, ran from saving Sheradin, ... and How D'lenn handled it, sympathetic to how we are each susceptible to such moments of fail and we let our worst overtake our better.

Still... another's capacity for such wise sympathy (or empathy), is no excuse for them.

[Edit: ... After being reminded of the specific situation this time though... I strongly doubt that's even their weakest moment of hurting people; strongly doubt that's a mere case of a rare moment of letting their worst get the better of their better... given what was initially done (and in which direction!!!). Wardrobe not big enough for all those skeletons [that I imagine, I hope, merely metaphorically].]
