Yes, this is how you react when you like someone. I'm sure Shadow is very appreciative of Gerald dehumanizing him the moment Maria died (Shadow was no longer of use), calling him an "it", and implanting his own will for revenge into Shadow's mind.

"Repeated experiments" says Battle JP, on the cause of Emerl going on berserk on the ARK.
Gerald crosses out "It seems to be [in pain]" in his notes on the Biolizard and replaces it with "uncontrollable."
Maria comments that the Artificial Chaos' eyes looked so sad during their rampage.
Shadow admits he doesn't know how to ask for anything. He never really had a choice.
Oh, what a wholesome person Gerald was. Well-versed in consent.
