He didn't even give that a try.
Conrad may have considered what Sean did compassion, but I see it as Sean being forced to look the more violent world ruled by wesen he told Nick BC would bring about directly in the eye - literally - and being unable to face it.
I wouldn't call that compassion at all. More like cowardice.
Opinions differ. Yours and syscrash's opinions take a sharp vector from mine on this subject. We've discussed it long enough to know that there will be no meeting of the minds concerning Sean's compassion in this instance. For the record, I have not changed my opinion, but I leave the field of combat to fight another day for a new cause. I concede this encounter to the loyal opposition.
