Thank you for this. A person could go nuts from all the what-ifs and even-ifs in this philosophical puzzle, and they are addressed succinctly here. One aspect I feel has been overlooked is the idea that there is no more safe option for prosecution from the outside world, for Chase, as he sees it. As he'd said to Foreman, if the killing is revealed, the massacre of the Sitibi will likely go on as Dibala had intended. And that brings up the moral conundrum wherein confessing to the killing would bring about the consequences he'd acted to prevent in the first place. That is the strongest reason he would have for maintaining a cover-up, despite his guilt or willingness to face legal prosecution.
