This is why I believe Blade and Dan Heng have different reactions to the Sedition.
Both regret involving Shuhu but Dan Heng saying "I'd do it again" in 3.6 is him reinforcing his beliefs while Blade wallowing in guilt during 4.3 is a reaction to losing sight of his values.
Dan Feng and Yingxing had fundamentally different reasons for resurecting Baiheng. Dan Feng wanted to continue protecting what he held dear while Yingxing was caught up trying to rectify an injustice.
It's the difference between a Permanence pathstrider and a Hunt pathstrider.
