What's actually presented is just a sad, guilt-ridden man making a mistake that keeps his love interest safe for the moment.

Yes, but his character has been portrayed, even in the specials as this perfect doctor who is the pinnacle of all. It's only been now that his underlying motive has become a hurdle for Emu. You're right, he isn't being chastised for his desire, but they're also being a little too accommodating. AgileSiamang, I like that last part of your statement.
