Well.... I think that, for here, it still requires an actual action you've taken. That's what the darkness is, right? Not to mention I don't think anyone is truly pure or truly evil, not here. We have the parts of us we don't want to accept, but the only way to make peace and move on is to acknowledge that part and work through it.
You're not a bad person, though. If you were, you never would have been distraught over what had happened.
