Hayley drops her hands back to her sides, remaining where she is, unperturbed by the short gap between them now. She trusts him, in spite of everything, not to hurt her. Because he said he wouldn't. The recognition of that trust doesn't register in her mind, instead, she continues with her anger.

"It's not like I'm going to attack anyone else you care about, so why do you care about making me your little pet project anyway? Kal's safe.

You can walk away and blame me and, I mean, sure, I'll still be around the turtle, but you never have to even look at me ever again."
