He wanted to say he enjoyed his victory but the win was hollow in what it had cost him. He didn't think. He just knew it was his job to have the curse broken. But why didn't he think about what would happen afterward.
Maybe he shouldn't have pushed so hard. Maybe then he would still... But it was too late and everything was his fault. Tears came to his eyes as he looked out the window of his room at Snow's apartment. There was a palpable sadness to the whole place. It wasn't only him that was affected but with was him who it affected the hardest. Well him and Snow White. They were the only two who ever had the enjoyment of her being their mother. But still it felt like his fault. If only he wasn't so eager this wouldn't have happened. Now he would give anything for things to go back to the way they were.
He regretted the day he opened that stupid book. Now it cost him someone he had loved even when he had told her he hated her. The last time he saw her she had tears in her eyes as she told him she loved him. And he doubted her. That's what made it hurt all the more. He didn't believe her when she said it and so the last thing on her mind might have been how he hated her. But he didn't. How could he? She was still his mother. She had taken care of him. Loved him in her own way and he had taken everything away from her and had her destroyed.
How could he be good if he caused the death of someone he loved? He wasn't. He was a horrible boy, and terrible son and his mother was dead because he didn't think. He didn't think and she died because of him. Emma failed him. But more importantly he failed her. All because he didn't think his actions through. And now Regina was dead. Dead and it was all his fault.
