I feel like why he's doing all of this may be related to the girl.
Take it with a grain of salt, it's my own personal theory so it may very well be flawed.

I assume his eye twitch is kind of an enabler, or something that tells us he has an idea. In this chapter, he didn't react to the news until the girl said "a crime against the homeless. How despicable!" Actually, I don't think it's really the girl herself but the way she phrases it, that makes him take action because let's be honest, there's always bad news, crimes being committed on the news but why on these arsonists. The answer is probably some key word, could be crime, despicable, or any kind of injustice related word.

I want to talk about his eye twitch too, it's really interesting, it's depicted as a tic he can't control and appears when he's not happy about some injustice(?), I'm not really sure about the conditions. The reason why he's punishing those criminals in those manners is very obvious (to me), he enjoys killing people or to be more precise, he enjoys doing good karma such as killing the criminals (to him its good karma at least), idk if he feels guilt as he seems to lack empathy and some morals but he definitely knows what he's doing isn't good, it wouldn't be approved, hence why he has a basement dedicated to "punishing" and a furnace to get rid of the corpses.
What I'm wondering is, does he feel any guilt, anything bad, if yes, could it be that killing bd people allows him to relieve himself that he's a good person then creating a vicious cicle where he still feels somewhat bad for murder.

I hope it isn't just punishing bad people and all, I sincerely wish it's gonna develop, maybe he's gonna get caught or he'll kill an innocent person, reflect on it, will that stop him?

In the end, my thoughts were all over the place and I feel like I didn't even theorize, I just stated the obvious. Sorry ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭

    I agree. He didn't care about the story until SHE mentioned how awful it was.
