Number 3 I see less as a betrayal and more of man who has been completely broken trying to make sense of the world. And he's not all there anymore. Number 1 hurt though, because spoiler character was always very kind, a little pathetic, and just kind of wanted to be part of the family. But they really twist the knife in when they show the flashback in the end and he was the only one to support his brother joining the army. Like it hurts. It hurts so much.
