"Forget what he 'deserves.' No one gets what they deserve in life, good or bad." His tone is definitely harsher than it has been thus far. No matter where you take Goro Akechi, he will always be Goro Akechi.
Sparrow, too, is proof of that.
"If you're going to righteously claim that you're doing it all for him, then what about what he wants? Because it's not your suffering like this. Not the person he is now, and I don't think the person he would be if he could remember properly could stand to see you in this state, either."
The Shadow of Sparrow, by all accounts, hates Ren for what he's done. But the Shadow isn't the whole self, either. If it was, 'Sparrow' wouldn't exist. The reality of what 'Goro Akechi' would want exists somewhere hanging in the balance between the two.
Shrike can't say with certainty, but he doesn't think that 'Akechi' would be able to stand the person in front of him - not out of anger, but out of pity and disgust.
