That opening Judas! just gives me chills, as does the image of Ewen covering his ears with his hands. It's such a childish gesture, and the context gives that a real poignancy: after all, Ewen is not a child, but a man pushed past the limits of his endurance, and this is the only way he has left to resist what seems like an unendurable reality.
But then it turns out the reality is not truly as dark as he thought, and in giving him back that night at the shieling Keith also gives Ewen back a lifeline of hope and faith in humanity.
Also KEITH. His continuing "BUT WHAT FEELING CAN BE DRIVING MY ACTIONS?" just sends me. OH KEITH.
