* '''Deconstructed''': The adrenaline wears off quickly, and he stops due to his agonising broken fingers; he finds himself disgusted at what he's done to another human being, and realises his victim will die from his injuries and that the extent of the brutality he inflicted will lead any jury to convict him of murder.
