[He's not sure Eden will get this but he won't be too annoyed if she doesn't. Most people don't quite understand that part of Maul's mindset, even friends he has had for a long time.
The hypothetical she proposes does give Maul pause. He's never had anyone put his revenge rampages in such terms before and it makes him think hard, especially given the parallels that had happened in his own galaxy. He'd killed Satine Kryze to hurt Obi-Wan and shortly thereafter Savage had been murdered by his master, almost as if committing one act had caused the other to happen.]
I suppose if that was the case I would because the cost would be too high. But if what you are suggesting is learning to care about other people, save your breath. Caring about everyone else in the world is too exhausting for me to consider. Caring about the people I do is hard enough as it is.
