I'm not saying it's not an act. Of course it's an act. The point is, Gen doesn't feel he has any choice but to keep up the act, and it's an act that has very real consequences, like people getting killed. People Gen doesn't like, but he does have that distaste for killing, and Sophos being hurt. More importantly, Gen doesn't feel he has any choice but to teach Sophos how to build that mask. The act hurts Gen in a way he isn't used to, and Conspiracy leads me to believe he doesn't see a way out of it yet. That's why it's tragic.
