>Shion was actually loving Satoko beneath all that hate
???
What

Up to that point Shion 100% thought Satoko was still the retarded crybaby she was in 1982 who caused Satoshi to eventually lose his mind, she even repeats that thought in her face as she's stabbing her. Only right after Satoko stops crying, gives her speech showing that she had become a completely different person and dies does Shion finally realize Satoko had changed and became a much stronger person than her, since Satoko never gave up hope. THAT's why she regretted her actions, she even admits right afterwards that the whole doing it for Satoshi was just an excuse she told herself and that in reality she knew he'd never want her to do any of this.

Obviously Teppei's case isn't as thorough or detailed since it's just a few minutes of an anime episode rather than a VN where he's the narrator, but from an objective standpoint, people can and do have massive character shifts in this series, thus Teppei's case is understandable and not out of the ordinary. Hell, even without memory leaks, look at the complete 180 Keiichi did, back then he used to have no real friends and shot little kids for sheer sadistic pleasure, you wouldn't think THAT guy would become our Keiichi would you?
