It's not terribly surprising that it's not the visual display he finds most disturbing, given what she knows of him so far. It's probably hard to be disturbed by the appearance of dead bodies as a necromancer, although she still suspects it would be less easy when it's people you cared about.

"They're people you loved. You did the best you could, right?" It's less of a question, and more of an assumption. "It's not your fault if you did everything you could. Sometimes you can do all the right things - or, you know, what you thought was right at the time, and it still just turns out wrong."

She can't help but think of Buffy, and the harm she caused inadvertently with the resurrection spell, thinking she was doing the right thing. It's no small mercy that Never Mind has chosen to focus on the people she's killed rather than the ones she's hurt.

"I shouldn't have killed him," she admits. "Warren, I mean. It's just... things got really out of control really fast."

Some of the anxious energy creeping up over the bodies starts to fade before she even takes a moment to look around and see that ahead of them, the river is beginning to clear.
