From Saeki's backstory i would say it's possible to revert him back to his younger self. Or soften him up a bit. Mutsuki has the capacity to do that, but killing him is ofcourse a much easier way.

Eto on the other hand seems a lot harder to crack and heal.

It's hard to tell wether someones backstory is more tragic then someone else's, because the way each person takes this with him in the continuation of his life and acts because of it, is partially indicating how hard the experience struck him/her mentally.

In Torso we clearly see he takes his past with him, someone that can't shake off his past traumatic experience. Those are actually the easiest to deal with. Both his father and Minomi died, so if he meets the right person, they can ease his pain and sugarcoat all over his trauma making him slowly forget.

With Eto that's a bit harder. She might not have had a traumatic experience of such caliber where everything happened in just 10 minutes, but she had it mentally much tougher. Suprisingly so. For years on end she had to fight to survive and on top of that gained knowledge about her roots and family bit by bit. Don't underestimate the weight of something like that. Knowing what your parents have done, while never actually having met them. And her father was still alive. It was nothing in the past, for Eto this is still present. Her father reminds her of all this by just being alive. When a big factor of your traumatic experiences is still alive, things become much more complicated to heal those wounds. That's why Eto's hate is so grand-scale, she wants to be noticed by her father. While Saeki's is small-scale, it's just to ease his own pain.

So basically have left-overs off your trauma still remain to physically haunt you, is a much harder to deal with then something that is gone and done with.

If you disagree or want to correct me or add something, i'd be very happy.
