There are a lot of things that are wrong here, and if I had some of my abilities back, I could fix it. Not a lot, I can't... move mountains or turn back time, or anything like that. But I can do one small thing that repairs a lot of other things. I'm not afraid to be someone's enemy over that.
[Still, she smiled at his last comment, all guileless and sweet.]
I might work for Javert, but we disagree on a lot of things. I think that's important, too. You shouldn't have someone who always agrees with whatever you're doing or whatever you're saying all the time. Otherwise you end up in this echo chamber of "it must not be wrong, because they said it wasn't."

Sorry... I took a lot of therapy growing up.
