The author is implying that the narrator feels no remorse for this action, but knows he should feel regret.
“. . . the scheme ceased to be a thing of the imagination and took on a horrible life of its own . . . . Never, never once in any immediate sense, did it occur to me that any of this was anything but a game.”
“I watched it all happen quite calmly—without fear, without pity, without anything but a kind of stunned curiosity—so that the impression of the event is burned indelibly upon my optic nerves, but oddly absent from my heart.”
