That's how people often feel when they come through a massacre when so many don't. It's normal to feel that way, to feel burden by your own presumed inadequacies to relation to those who didn't survive. But there's nothing that can be done to change the past. Well, I say nothing when I know that's not entirely true, but it's still a serious risk to try. We all have to learn how to live with our regrets... find a way to improve the things we damage.
Such is the responsibility of those who try further scientific progress. I created a serial killer trying to power a city. I killed dozens on top of that, changed the lives of dozens of others, not necessarily for the better. And that, all of that, is something I'm going to have to live with, that every person he hurts, they hurt, is my fault.
If you need someone to talk to about it, you're welcome at the lab. We've got plenty of room.
