Something happened in the 1700s and Nicky lost all his memories (event up to writer), and he never got them back. Joe explained as best as he could Nicky's past from being priest to fighting as crusader becoming immortal, falling in love. So Nicky is aware of the terrible things he has done to Joe during the crusades but it always felt like it's someone else.
When Keane shot Nicky through the head, all his prior memories returned. Remembering it first hand is much more worse than hearing Joe explain it. Nicky can't sleep anymore, the nightmares and guilt clawing at him. He can't look at Joe's eyes without flinching and averting his gaze. More than once, he's in the bathroom vomiting cause the images burned in his head is too much.
Joe tries to reassure Nicky that he is forgiven and that he is no longer that person but Nicky is struggling with it... it's getting worse. How to fix this is up to writer!
