When Aryn returns to the ruined Jedi Temple, she has a realization that struck me:
"Malgus must have used the same approach, she realized, and it appalled her that the last person to walk the processional before the Temple's fall had been a Sith. She found it obscene. She fancied she was retracing his footsteps, her boots effacing the wrongness of his passage."
Full admission: I had to look up exactly what "effacing" meant (it means "to erase from a surface", by the way).
So here again we have another example of Jedi and Sith following the same path with different intents and to different ends. In this case the path is even physical.
Later in the same chapter Zeerid worries about Aryn:
"But he worried over Aryn's reasons. The line between seeking justice and seeking revenge was thin indeed, but Zeerid could see that Aryn had stepped over it. She wanted Malgus dead because she wanted revenge. And there would be no undoing it once it was done."
Zeerid's thoughts dovetail perfectly with Aryn's, but Z-Man isn't blinded by his Jedi beliefs like Aryn. He sees that Aryn may think she is after justice, a Jedi trait, but actually wants revenge, a Sith trait.
