I did what I did because I couldn't find a way to help her, and I decided that I would regret it more if she had killed someone that night, whether because she was free to act or because someone else died trying to stop her.

[He can understand that. But it does feel like the correct time to use the antidote would have been in the time before murder night. Once events are in motion . . .

Don't let one failure bring you down, Lio.

[ . . . ]
They are experimenting on us. Have done so before.
