I couldn't help but notice that the head post (is that what we call it?) implies that Hook does not regret his past.

So let me ask, if he does not, how do you explain:

"I was a broken man who did terrible things"

"What I did was worse than breaking her heart" (paraphrasing here)

"I was the villain in that little drama, Swan"

"I left an innocent boy an orphan"/allowing Liam to kill him

"Despite the forgiveness of others, I must forgive myself and I'm not there yet"

"I am so sorry Ariel"

"Every ring is a sad story"

Plus all the regret on his face which is there, plain as day? Killian has shown repeatedly to have regretted his past. Unlike Nook (much as I like him) who has not shown as much regret as Hook as (which I get bc he hasn't even been there a full season).
