There is a difference between justice and revenge. The concept had haunted Warren since his final trip to Whitebrim. He'd tried to confess those sins and been rebuked. While the details were still so, so vivid in his mind and his dreams, the reality of the fact seemed to be that no one was interested in what transpired there. It was known there was a death, it was known he was responsible, but by the Twelve's grace it hadn't been looked into. Warren had expected to be yanked aside while on patrol for nights and nights; Even removed from the event he was prepared for the nation's retaliation.
He could never have known the Inspector had sealed his own fate. His associations with dragonkin were far more interesting to Ishgard than the details of his grizzly murder, so Prauvaulient had received his inevitable fate.
Warren was doing his best to put the past behind him. His relationship with Sei had deteriorated moons and moons ago, and she had returned from Coerthas a new person. Sei was gone. Howl had returned intact, for the most part. There were things he knew and could feel were being kept from him, or at the very least were being minimized. Even through everything, Howl was trying to protect Warren.
The truth was, Warren was happier since everything resolved than he'd been in the long period prior to it. Despite his losses or setbacks, there were positive forces in his life keeping him afloat. He knew this, and he thought often on how lucky he was and how blessed he was and how fortunate.
That's why it bothered him so much that his heart was too frequently being seized by an angry and hostile rage.
