I feel some pity for him, if I'm honest. I doubt he ever had a real friend. Just... research and experiments and no one to converse with. A lonely existence. I can't help but wonder if he wouldn't be so devoted to the empire if things had been different.
This doesn't excuse his actions in the least, of course. It is just something that comes to mind of whenever he's said something particularly off-putting.
perhaps so. i remember the laboratory had little in the ways of people that weren't guards, who i don't recall ever hearing to speak much. isolated as it was, it would not surprise me were he to have had little to no real human contact.
i suppose i can sympathize with that much. i do not think i hate him, only
i might almost compare it to my perspective on my brother, save only that in this case i simply never cared enough about him one way or another. indifference is a step above hating him, at the very least

Would it be incorrect to say that you don't hate him, and while you may feel sympathy or pity, you cannot forgive him?

But there is little use to dwell on it. Things are as they are and will be what they will be.
I shall keep you informed of any pertinent developments, if you like.
