[ Hector does not want anyone looking out for Hector. Hector wants to do his thing and make sure other people are okay. He'll keep chipping away at himself until he's hollow, and he'll fill that void with booze, booze, booze. Who's to say he hasn't gotten there yet?
He stares at Yael's message for a little bit, not really sure what to make of it. ]
No one should ever have had to live through what I did.
Every life I save is a fraction of forgiveness for what I did.
You don't need permission from me. You'll do what you want no matter what I tell you.
[You stubborn idiot. You're worth so much more alive than dead.]
But let me tell you this: doing good deeds to alleviate a guilty conscience is pointless. Selfish. The only person you're helping when you do that is yourself.
[He's had enough of this "conversation". There's no convincing a stubborn, pigheaded man like Hector to see reason. There's no convincing him to value his own life. It's nothing but wasted time, wasted effort, and more headache than it's worth.
More heartache as well, but that's nothing Yael cares to acknowledge even to himself. Goodbye, Hector.]

Just let me help them, Yael. I'll be fine.

You're better than that.

Fuck off.

[They wouldn't be having this argument if Hector's goal wasn't to kill himself one noble sacrifice at a time.]
Don't get mad because you're being called out. Be mad that you're a self-centered bastard.

Maybe YOU try helping someone sometime, you bastard.
