He's still angry when he thinks about it - angry, and sad, and guilty all at once, because while the Reach have proven themselves time and time again to be really bad guys, humans should know better when it comes to their own kind at the very least. And if there had been just one more hotel willing to let them in, even just one more guy with superpowers, they might have lived.
He can't say the same about what's going on here.]
