Peridot had been one thing... she had obviously been mentally disrupted, but she was in one piece and she wasn't in pain. This is totally different. As Lambert and Scout enter, he's frozen in the doorway, only technically following Lambert's instructions. He's paralyzed with horror.
He doesn't think he can fix what's wrong here, and it's a sinking feeling in his gut. He's scared now - really scared - and a few moments later he has to force himself to look away.
Tears start beading from his eyes, against his control. He buries his face in his hand, sniffling and ashamed of himself.
