Of course it was and of course he did. There's no way in hell I'd be with him if he hadn't taken responsibility and taken steps to try and make sure it never ever happens again.
Did he mention the bit about how terribly he'd been tortured and how destroyed his mind and psyche were when he did it? No. He takes full responsibility - as he should - refuses to consider any mitigating factors, doesn't think that the fact that a creature came and ripped his soul and life force from him excruciatingly painfully four times as a punishment changes anything at all.
All of which is part of why I care for him so much. He could easily say he was semi-insane at the time and that the punishment more than fit the crime. He doesn't.
I just wish he didn't see himself only as a monster when the subject gets brought up. It's thinking he's only a monster and there was no point in trying to be anything else that got him to the point where he let the demon go.
