Of course it is. A shame you can't ask them for the truth. Not that you would see it, even then. How could you? You need the story you have told yourself. The lies. They hold you together.
Which is why you want to hear me tell you I will never kill again- not because you hope it's true, but so that you can feel vindicated when I break my word and prove you right.
I don't reject what I did or what I am any more than you do. And if you give me reason, I promise you, I will kill anyone who stands against me. The difference between us is this.
