[Maul listens. He listens to every word, and by the end of it, he’s quivering with anger. Not because Peter is wrong but because he’s right. Of course, Maul being who he is, he can’t admit that, not even really to himself. He’s only just started down the road of becoming a better person and facing up to how he’s acted still isn’t something he’s willing or even able to do.]
Silence!
[He roars out, rage coloring his features. With the anger he feels within, Maul can’t help but lash out. It’s the only way he knows how to deal with it right now.]
You think you know me?! Why don’t you turn that perceptive gaze inwards and see what you’ll find? I see a man who tries to save others because it’s a compulsion, because he’s failed so many times in the past all he can do is make up for it by trying to save everyone now. [It’s a shot in the dark but after hanging around Usagi and Obi-Wan for so long, Maul’s seen certain patterns in do-gooder types. They always blame themselves more for the ones they don’t save than the ones they do.] You’d rather die saving one more person than face the idea that your meddling just makes things worse for some people.
