I dig the remorseful Axel potential similar to Jack, but I assume that was dropped, since the closest scene to make him sympathetic was removed and over the course of the development, lines were added throughout the game emphasizing how manipulative and incorrigible he is.
So no, Axel only felt remorse after Cherry because Lena left him, not because he hurt them. His apology is just a pretense to get close to her: He "accidentally" plants photos in the item he delivers to Lena, he offers her a potential model job and almost always makes a move on her at the shooting. He doesn't want to mend the relationship, he wants it back.
Can Lena be worse than him? She feels guilty cheating on Ian, so she isn't as detached (yet). Stealing money and going full on Seymour may lead to being entirely ruthless and self-absorbed, but at her core she is relatively good and kind, so it requires more for her to surpass Axel.
Wait, what? Closest scene to make him sympathetic was removed? Really? What scene was it, if you can remember?
