But with Nadia, he had too much guilt--guilt over the torture, guilt over what he became after she was killed, etc. With Shannon, it was a clean slate for both of them. That's why, in the FS, he had to make peace with Nadia and the past she represented, and finally walk away from it. With Shannon, he lived in the moment, and not the past. I thought the scene where the finally meet again was really lovely.
I'm glad someone did.
