I call him an Emo considering the way he acts.
In the literal sense, I can understand. But, generally when the term Emo is used, it is done because the person is acting in a certain fashion without proper cause to do so.
Boone, on the other hand, has plenty of cause to be a broken wreck of a man. The guilt inherent in his participation in the accidental slaughter of countless innocent people is enough to weigh heavily upon the heart of any man. That his wife was kidnapped and left to a fate worse than death is simply another stone on the load. When he found that the only help he could offer her was a quick and painless death, he was all but broken.
So, tell me, is a man burdened by the ghosts of his past, a man who had his only comfort in the world stolen by a person who's safety he assured, a man who is unable to save even a single person he cared most about not entitled to sulk? When you meet him, the only thing that keeps him going is spite.
