[Darin doesn't back down and the poke to the chest hardly registers.]

Oh please! Stop forcing this altruistic dumbshit narrative you keep trying to foist onto me! I'm not trying to be a hero, just a halfway decent person! But you seem to have it in your head that everything I do is for personal gain!

Guess what?

I don't care! Are you that freakin' jaded by the universe that someone respecting your opinion warrants you making up some nonsense story about their intentions?? Can't I just talk to you?!

[It's Darin's turn to prod Riptide's chest with an accusing finger.]

No wonder you waged war for four million years! You can't let a mistake drop within a human lifespan!
