Well, in the empty locket (...) he imagines a picture of an infant - they show it a few times, actually, um. here. On some level he knows that the kid would be over two years old by now, but normally that's what he's thinking of.
The weather metaphors - they never actually explain it in canon, much like Senji's panty issues, but the way I figure it, it's keyed into his understanding of freedom - he likes to talk about seeing the sun again and feeling the wind, so I think the idea that there's weather and changes in the air and sunlight and grey clouds somewhere even if he can't see them is meaningful to him.
Sakura - oh man he loves her to death. Her willingness to kill isn't anything to him. The truth is, he kills, too. He doesn't want to, but he doesn't shy away from it either. When he meets an undertaker during his escape plan, he says it'll be raining her blood today, so you know.
One of the things thats key to the way I write Nagi is, as nice as he is and as pacifistic as he wants to be, he spent years as what amounts to a revolutionary/war leader. He knows sacrifices are inevitable - he knows sometimes you need to take someone's head off and he thinks it's a shame, and he doesn't do it casually, but he'll still do it. He has, as has been pointed out by crow, a thick and wide ruthless streak - a part of him that just says, okay well, to get to the queen we're going to have to set fire to the pawns. And he'll frown when he says it, but he'll still say it, and he'll do it.
So her willingness to kill is sort of. A sad truth, but nothing he would be bothered by. He's more bothered by the existence of circumstances that make these things necessary.
