Yep. Think of the Spike character in Buffy. He was murdering lots of ppl. Still intended to like him. Trying to rape Buffy? Crossed a line.

That was the tipping point at which he had to go and suffer horribly to get his soul back & that's always the thing he feels most shame for.

I've seen a few buffy episodes but must have dropped off before this Spike person appeared. I had to google him.

Spike was great! So deliciously evil but a fool for love.

And very sexy.
