I didn't like how in "Kill Ari Part 1" there was not reaction from Tony about Kate's blood on him.

He wakes up on the floor, cold and hot, shivering and sweating. He lurches for the nearest trashcan and empties his breakfast inside it. Sitting with his back to the frame of the bed, he scrubs his face with his palms, feeling nothing but sweat. No trace of the blood he felt not hours before. Her blood on his cheeks and on his lips and inside his mouth. He can still taste the coppery aftertaste of her life mixed with the banana muffin he barely ate and vomits again.
After, he sits back and struggles to his feet. Supporting his weight against the blue walls, he makes his way to the bathroom. He stops in front of the sink and bows his head at the mirror, unwilling to look at himself, fearing the sight of red against pale skin. He runs the water, waits until he's sure it is cold and grabs his toothbrush. The minty toothpaste does not erase the taste of blood but only reminds him of her kisses as a second toothbrush glares at him from its place between the soap and a make-up bag.
He spits in the sink and drinks from the tap, rinsing his mouth. He glances up and meets his eyes. Red stares back at him and blinking, he thinks he can still see her blood splattered on his face.
Shaking his head, he turns the water off, replaces his toothbrush into the plastic glass, takes the pink one and tosses it into the black trashcan beside the toilet. It lands siftly on a pregnancy test and he looks away quickly.
He walks to the kitchen, raiding his cupboards from all their alcohol and places the bottle he finds on the table. Passing the two coffee cups on the counter, he grabs a glass from the dishwasher and sits. He chooses a scotch bottle from the three in front of him and filling his glass, he swallows it in one mouthfull. It tastes horrible mixed with mint, banana and copper but he doesn't care and fills his glass again.
He'll probably be sick in the morning, or whenever he stops drinking, but at least he'll be sick for another reason that the sight of a hole in her forehead and her brain and blood splattered on a gravel covered rooftop.
The bottle of scotch is almost half emptied with his third glass and he'll keep drinking until he's forgot her taste or until he runs out of fuel. It will probably be the later and when that happens, he'll just go and find more. He'll drink himself into oblivion because her blood is in his mouth and she's not there to stop him.
