Khan didn't regret the decisions he had made to get where he was. Still, he realized he had compromised himself multiple times, and things could only worsen.

Khan's mindset wasn't human anymore. It hadn't been for a long time, but the recent events had widened that gap. Khan was still a fourth-level warrior, too, so he had room to grow farther away from humankind, further affecting his decisions.
