76 immediately balks at the use of “friends”, but all he offers her is a sort of noncommittal noise in the back of his throat. He sort of wonders how he got to the point where it’s easier to hear a joke about how he just tried to kill her than it is to hear her call him a friend. Even the prospect of facing the Legion, the press, the public—he’d rather take that than accept friendship.

“They’ll have to catch me first.”

That is not a joke—he is entirely serious about that.
