[ He knows where that bile is coming from, and he digests it. Analyzes. Understands. ]
You're not wrong.
[ If she expected him to talk her down from her anger... well, he doesn't. The truth of the matter is that she didn't sign her life away for whatever bullshit this is (even Venom acknowledges it), and her resentment isn't unfounded. ]
Which is why you're going to have to find other ways to keep going. I've already offered.
[She doesn't want to, though. She's got blood on her hands, and no matter how many times they tell her it's not her fault, it's all on her.
At least forty were found dead to her name. What of those never found? What of those disappeared without a trace? How many more bodies would surface at the hands of the man who pretended to be her?]
I don't want to kill, Ahab. I can kill. I know how to kill. I know where it hurts, where it bleeds. But murder is one thing I hadn't intended on crossing.
[It wasn't even a moral high ground. She truly believes she isn't prepared for that weight. She left a person bleeding and if they died, it was their own damn fault for not moving fast enough. But outright kill?]
You, Nathan, Arno. You should have left me back there. I'm of no use to anyone here outside of dead weight.
