See and that's the tragic thing about post-Delphi Pharma lsdkfjlks. Whether it's because he believes he doesn't deserve reform or simply is too far gone to care, he would never actually admit to feeling regret or anguish and that's part of what makes him so easy to condemn. Pharma's victimhood and feelings of regret are entirely below the surface, read-between-the-lines, and isn't it hard to offer forgiveness to someone who seems to laugh at the idea?

#squiggposting #pharma apologism #bc that's the thing about writing pharma whump or whatever where he gets to call people out for mistreating him #that's not in character pharma would never admit to feeling hurt or lonely or any of that #his response to being asked if he feels guilt is to lie and laugh about it and say he doesn't regret a thing #and this is right after the Forcefield That Blocks Anyone Who Feels Guilt blocks pharma from going through it #this isn't apologism this is just connecting the dots of canon #WHEN PHARMA SAID HE DIDN'T FEEL GUILT HE WAS LYING EVEN IF HE DIDN'T KNOW IT #personally i feel like you could read that scene a lot of ways #like on one hand you could read it as pharma being suicidal and deliberately baiting first aid to kill him so that he could be free of this #or you can read it as just pharma's typical insanity at this point where he's whimsical and uncaring #or you could maybe read it as pharma being so apathetic to everything that he doesn't care about his public image #and maybe would rather put on a front of unrepentance rather than cry in anguish or beg for forgiveness #personally i'd go for all of above #THIS GUY HAS LAYERS I'M TELLING YOU
