Indeed, though I don't know how much of a "case" it is.

Such things are not mutually exclusive. He can care about Robin while still wanting to put her into a cage where it's allegedly safe. However, from what I've gathered, he took it from righteousness to self-righteousness and caged himself instead. As for why... it depends on the person you ask, and the Aeon they attempt to revive. Reviving Akivili would be unconscionable. Reviving Ena to enact a true dream that life couldn't escape from, where they wouldn't know pain... that might be worth it to one who views people as inherently weak or childish.
[Dan Heng says nothing about the Permanence. Perhaps he's deeply cynical after all the years of reincarnation, but how can there be Permanence when there is Finality? His people couldn't reproduce, and thus would eventually go extinct. Just as they have now, with Dan Heng being the only Vidyadhara left.]
You'll find out soon enough.
[He may or may not be teasing her by being cryptic.]
