This kind of thing happens in almost all movies and shows. The heroes rarely think twice about the fact that "they" are responsible for the carnage. After all, the bad guys didn't need to chase after them. On the other hand, Superman and other superheroes don't often think about this either, even while they are chasing villains through walls and breaking everything in the process. In a classic Justice League confrontation of Superman versus Darkseid, Superman says he lives in a world of cardboard and has to be careful not to break anything just seconds before he punches the overlord through four buildings and then slams him into the ground hard enough to create a crater that could have swallowed two more buildings. Sometimes, I hate Superman. I don't know. The RT team seem alittle more aware of tropes then your average comicbook or action movie writer. And certainly they're more invested in the story then most script writers are.

As to the characters themselves. Sun is happy-go-lucky enough that it may never ocur to him, though I think it'd bum him out if someone brought it to his attention, nothing more then that though. Blake... I don't know how Blake would react. I kinda feel she might already have blood on her hands. It depends on whether the train job in the black trailer was the first time she was called on to kill or just the point where she finally drew the line. Perhaps her earlier victims were more deserving: actual guards fighting back (not everyone can afford robot guards after all), or maybe horribly racist assholes. If that's the case then it'll hit her really hard or not very hard at all, could go either way. Whichever way, anger would probably be the route her upset would take rather then sadness.

If it was say Ruby, I have no doubt it'd hit her like a ton of bricks. Believing she was responsible for an innocent's death (rightly so or not) would crush her. Weis would probably be upset, but not devastated. Yang... I'm not sure how Yang would react in that situation. Sadened certainly, but how upset beyond that, I don't know. We just don't know enough about her character yet.
