[Okay, he's a psychologist with the FBI. He's seen a lot of really awful things, read about even more awful things, and most importantly knows that even if life is incredible and wonderful it's also not fair and shouldn't be expected to be.
And yet, the first thing that crosses his mind is 'what did I do to deserve this?'
He knows the answer is nothing, just like he didn't deserve any of the other terrible situations he's found himself in throughout his life, but still he thinks he deserves a good moment of self-pity before he has to figure out how to respond to that admission. Unfortunately, he doesn't have the time for that, mostly because she's right there and it's kind of important to remember that considering what she just said she's capable of. At least her other Guardsmen had apparently had a problem with the whole idea, but that's little consolation.]
Attempted murder is usually given a long prison sentence, provided there's intent and enough evidence for a conviction. However, I'm aware there may not be such a system that would make that possible here.
[It's easier to answer he previous question than to actually respond to what she said, so that's what he does as he continues to go over things mentally.]
