David shifts his weight so he can look at Hanna. Can't help thinking how quickly he would wash out of basic training. He doubts Hanna is the type to enlist, like, ever, but still. The physicality of it would probably kick the redhead's ass.
But that said--
"Funny thing about failing is you haven't until you stop trying."
Like he has, David realizes. Like he has, letting himself slip into the dark again. Letting himself slip into the dark in the first place. That's an odd thought.
"You've tried to help people and it hasn't gone the way you wanted. But you keep trying to help people. You won't give it up." A pause. "I've killed almost everyone I know, and I'll probably kill more people who don't deserve it."
David frowns, a thought nibbling its way up from the depths, not quite clear enough to pin down yet. He makes a little hand gesture that he hopes buys him a moment to figure it out.
"I'll kill more, and I'm not even trying to fight it. So of the two of us, which one actually has something wrong with them? You're the one who hasn't given up on caring."
