[The fact that he even hurt someone who'd been nice to him was worse in Heather's mind than just hurting random civilians.]
[And even worse than that is the childish expression of joy as he thinks about stuff that she'd rather not know the details of, to be honest. The whole display makes her feel like there's maggots writhing in her stomach.]

Okay, that's not true-- she's been broken about a dozen different ways over the course of her existence and had glued herself back together again juuuust well enough to keep on baring her teeth at the world. A better way to say it would be 'I don't break anymore.' But that's too long a pile of words to make for a good witty one-liner.]
And even if I did?
All it'd do is give me some more sharp edges to cut you with.
