I feel I must point out that the expression on his face doesn’t quite seem to fall in line with your description of torment and shame from past regrets.
That being said, I absolutely love the artwork; your ability to render fae-tinged characters is coying and sweet. And your lyrical description is captivating as well, its poetry could almost stand alone.

I would agree with your statement that the face on the syringe is “coy and sweet”, but I believe that its qualities display potential for a gentler side. The face is not the face of the tormented, but the face of hope.
Unlike the piece Angel of Mercy, which has multiple opposing meanings for the syringe symbol. Tinman’s Heart conjures the image of a potential antidote/cure/vaccine.
