Hmm i wouldn’t call it guilt. He seems to have no remorse for what he did to cause them to break up.
What he wants is to control her. He basically thought that Maize would never leave him no matter what he did and now that he’s lost that he’s desperate to force her back with the excuse of “protecting her”. He loved the idea that she was being “brainwashed” by demons so that he could take her back.
So he doesn't love her. It's just guilt that he basically cheated and didn't do anything for her. It's been eating at him and started meddling with her life now.
