You can see the difference in the depth of feelings Carcel and Emiliano have for Ines in these chapters. There is no doubt that Emiliano loved Ines and Ines herself had affection for both Emiliano & Luca enough to suffer ptsd in relation to it. But Carcel here is all ready to fight God for Ines, he never stopped loving Ines in all his lifetimes irrespective of his memories, irrespective of his reputation or situation, irrespective of what even Ines thought of him or felt for him - Ines existence was enough for him.
Emiliano is the love one might experience once or maybe twice in life and be considered fortunate but Carcel is the love of very existence, the sort of love which can overcome multiple lives of misery and make you feel glad to be alive, give hope to a dead heart - Ines essentially started this life to die a natural death and to no longer remember her misery, pain & guilt and it was Carcel who made her want to live again, to hope for the future again, to love again and to regret not loving or not knowing Carcel in her past lives. When I read their monologue about each other, all I see is their regret of not knowing who the other half of their soul was sooner.
