Beyond that, I think the most important thing to consider with the whole "Does Arima care at all?" debate is this:

Ishida loves tragedy and ripping our hearts out. Of the two options, which is the more emotionally brutal? Which would destroy both the characters and the audience emotionally?

That is the primary reason I think that Arima has come to genuinely care to some degree, as opposed to his initial "just following orders" approach.

But it would be the uglier, messier, more emotionally taxing outcome.
