[Mac. Knuckles internal reaction is pretty much this. This exactly. If you were here, he'd be shaking you.]

....so... heh. The guy who... put you in hospital and caused you to have like... massive panic attacks. Who killed a bunch of people and the Kraken... You're just.. chill. With him.

Are you CRAZY!?

[There is a vein. It's on Knuckles' forhead and it is pulsing.]

He might have folks he cares about but that doesn't mean he has VALUES. I don't think he did this but he did some pretty damn awful stuff before!
