Yeah. I think that's the realisation hitting him that he's stuck behind bars for another 40-60 years. His emotions have probably been in a mess, and he's been grieving himself; not for the family he murdered, but his lost relationship with nicky. As everything has calmed down, reality has deservedly kicked him in the balls, so it's probably a coping mechanism; believing that he can get out and gives him something to aim for.
