To touch on Rin's death, she has no idea what's about to happen until Kayo announces, when they are in a secluded place, that she intends to kill her.

Her apology during the execution scene is for causing fear in the town she loved. I'm not sure she feels any remorse whatsoever over the murders.

She's tragic but having a psychosis doesn't make a serial killer somehow not horrifying or dangerous. Banica was a cannibal who wants to devour the world. Margarita poisoned and nearly killed a whole town. Riliane started a war and attempted genocide.

The difference being that Kayo's psychosis is very realistic and seems to come from her trauma and projecting people where they aren't. It doesn't excuse what she did, no, but she is by far the Sinner you're most likely to meet in real life. Unless you're telling me there's magical cannibals, princesses possess by demons, and living dolls with a penchant for poisoning out there.

Realism is frightening, just like how I feel about the dinosaurs in Disney's Fantasia
