[Lance has put a painful amount of thought and emotion into that same exact issue and he still doesn't have an answer. It's complex and difficult and he's not sure he'll ever be able to emotionally be okay with the fact that he's killed people under a mental influence of some kind. He'll always feel like he's responsible somehow. And he's sure there's psychiatrists somewhere who would love to pick all their brains as a study in some sort of trauma whatever.]

[And oddly, as if that line was a set of magic words, the blackness around them shifts as the memory skips forward to when he was conscious again. It's hazy, but now they can see a purple room, there's a battle going on. Shiro is nearby Lance where he is starting to sit up, painfully so with his rifle and fire a shot at a large purple alien fighting Keith. Then he falls back unconscious again and the world is a black purple mess with muffled sounds.]
