When Anna asks if he saw it too, Mitch replies, "I... I saw her, or it! I saw her kill..." but Mitch breaks down, his face knotting into a tangle of wrinkles as he struggles not to begin sobbing. "Them," he adds weakly, "I saw her kill them, and I ran. I left them. I left them to die."

He seems not to hear Jen's comment about hurting the Wytch, or maybe simply is not comforted by the idea.
