Let's talk Black Mirror season 4

[Homeless Nutter]

I see why they brought up the blind part now. Thought this only worked on adult humans (not babies or animals). Makes sense now ... uh ... sort of.

You say she's a psychopath and her tears were crocodile tears. Are you saying she was trying to fool the audience (us) into having sympathy with her then? If she is a psychopath, I don't see why she would be feeling any guilt or shame (as she explicitly said at one point) and cry tears when on her own (unless I misremembered this part and she only cried in order to manipulate people in front of her).

Tears don't have to be a sign of guilt or shame. She could have cried out of fear, or pity for herself. Whether or not she gets caught - her life will never be the same again and she knows it. Even if she gets away with all the murders, she will live the rest of her life in fear of being found out. That's a huge drop in quality of life.

Although maybe she's not a psychopath, but a sociopath. She may have a conscience, but it's weak and can't stop her from committing increasingly horrific acts in order to protect herself, even if those acts traumatize her. In either case - I think she's probably feeling sorry mostly for herself.
