** Spike seeks out his soul willingly, but then spends the next several episodes [[SanitySlippage slowly losing his mind]] because of the intense shame and guilt over things he's done as a vampire. When Buffy finds him, he's babbling incoherently and there are scratch marks on his chest from where he tried to ''claw his soul out'' to mitigate the self-loathing. The scene ends with Spike imploring her "can we rest now?" before draping himself over a cross, unconcerned about the smoke rising from his charred flesh while Buffy looks on in horror.

How to deal with TheSociopath? You can [[TalkingTheMonsterToDeath talk down the monster]], or you can magically or psychically give them the feelings that they lack. This will lead to the sociopath in question beginning to [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone feel horror and shame for all of their sins]], leading to a VillainousBreakdown, especially if they didn't want emotions. If the sociopath wanted emotions to begin with and it proves to be too much for them, this can lead to a case of BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor.

BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor. In dramatic works, the whole episode usually results in a victory for the heroes (as the sociopath no longer wishes to commit villainy), but when PlayedForLaughs, most of the time the change is inevitably reversed (with the sociopath reverting to their original self) after a case of WeWantOurJerkBack.

Grilling him on this, Keene asks what he intends to do once he gains Breel's empathy and realizes he's killed someone, which Negabreel cannot comprehend. To prove he wouldn't regret such a thing, Negabreel harmlessly absorbs a small fraction of Breel's empathy and is immediately overloaded with the guilt of everything he's done and intends to do.
