I know that's not what you're used to. You don't think justice applies to you. But you shouldn't have to fight, even if you're guaranteed to win. You shouldn't have to be looking over your shoulder all the time.

Should doesn't change much, okay? But you don't need a mob coming after you, and that's what I'm afraid of.

[There's a flicker of personal fear, of memory, in his eyes now. There are things he's been through that he won't allow to be repeated in front of him.]
