He cries about how he didn't actually want to hurt the girls, but he couldn't sleep, couldn't study, couldn't concentrate unless he slashed a girl. And then he thanks them for catching him as he felt like he was going to kill someone next.

The kid's shock and grief is palpable, and when he implores Friday and Gannon to find and punish the killers, you will be weeping with him.
