She wouldn’t want to know how good killing him made me feel. She’d probably blame herself for the fact that I’d done it. Eloise is a good person; she doesn’t get off on other people's suffering the way I do, which is just one of the many reasons why we shouldn’t be together.

The self deprecation could be an entire paychological study....

“No more being scared. I promised I wouldn’t hurt you, and I meant it. I’d die before I let that happen.”

“When are you gonna realize that I’m not scared of you, Ren? I’m scared of myself.”

I have no idea how, but I’m pretty sure he just made murder sound romantic. I’m totally blaming the pregnancy hormones for that.
