*Spoilers* The Torture Victims

[hollowleviathan]

You can't point to one person and say, that's an average person. You have to point at 100,000 people and say, most of them will act in a certain way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Monster...ple_Street This is generally what I expect from average people.

It's certainly possible for there to be singular people who would not act like Daniel did, but there's at least some who would do what he did. It's a legitimate reaction to be horrified by him, of course. But even assuming his speedy descent to butchery is not possible for the average person, I don't think you could say it's outside of the possibility of humanity.

It's even possible that he himself is no longer a person who would have done those things, after taking the amnesia potion. He doesn't have the predilections of his memories, only his force of personality carrying him on. When he re-discovers everything that reduced him to paralysis, it can no longer stop him. He's a new person now.
