I like the variants of the mood. They're all down and condemned to watch the awfulness unleashed, but Jesus is in despair, Stanczyk is outright haunted on the verge of a mental breakdown, and Napoleon is just completely done.

Despair is a reasonable reaction when one realizes it takes millions of people lifetimes to create a decently-functioning society and one or two douchebags with power a year or two to fuck it all up.
