One more thing. The scene when Zen pointed his gun towards Ai.
Below is some guessing.
What stopped him from pulling the trigger? I think it was his beliefs. He wanted to be good and just. His ideology said that good = continuing. So he couldn't end Ai's life. (Justice was also involved, there was no trial etc.) I think when Ai told him that he's bad, because he killed Alex, he realized that. So he didn't want to "make the same mistake" again.
But if he hadn't had this ideology of good and bad, he would have pulled the trigger instantly. To protect himself, his family and the humanity. But instead of pulling the trigger he probably started to think about what is good, what is bad etc. The kind of "lawful" thinking I referred to earlier. So by not pulling the trigger he (in practice) COMMITTED SUICIDE. This or that way, he was bad, ha ha. Because he didn't continue. He could have either continued his own life or Ai's.
So his idea of good and bad and justice (and justice according to him = continuing to think about what is good and bad) lead him to his own destruction.
Of course there is a lot of guessing involved in what I said above, so don't treat it too seriously.
I agree with this assessment.
He should have just shot her.
