it's the only time Damien shows humanity and he doesn't dwell on it again, after he kills him he returns to being the Antichrist and thus unemotional - however the fact is he deeply mourned having to kill Mark, after Mark died Damien basically fulfiled his descent into being the Antichrist proper as he severed ties entirely with empathy (since Mark was the one person Damien cared for).

it just seems very unlikely a true CM would be able to form a geniune affection for anyone, even if they ultimately killed them - most CMs are approached with no attempts to show any form of relationship, since beings that can show care for others (no matter how selectively few) are not "pure evil" (though they can be very close to it)
