[...the disturbance in the Force before, he probably totally does now. Just sayin'. I mean heck, Yoda noticed when Anakin's mother died, I'd be shocked if Palpatine couldn't feel this. Plus with so few Jedi, it seems like the ripples an individual Force user makes would become more noticeable. Hmmmm.]
It is just as well that he can let this out, to some extent. At least he doesn't have to try and pretend that it doesn't feel like a part of his soul was ripped out. And it does mean that even though some part of him wants to shut himself off from Obi-Wan's touch through the Force, he can't quite do it.
The compassion is what does it, Anakin isn't holding back tears either. At least not successfully. "You should hate me," he says roughly, "you should want to see me dead...." Implicit, of course, is that if their positions were reversed, he might feel that way. "...maybe I should be." Maybe it would fix things. If he's dead, he can't go back. If he can't go back, he can't become this...monster.
He's not exactly thinking clearly enough to consider that if he got back knowing what he does now, he wouldn't fall for Palpatine's plot and things would likely turn out quite differently.
'bout what I figured. though I also figure if Palpy hadn't noticed...
