“No good deed goes unpunished! All helpful urges should be circumvented. No good deed goes unpunished.” He scoffs hollowly into the darkness. “Sure, I meant well - well, look at what well-meant did!”
He lashes an arm out at the city that stretches out in front of him, and the species it contains. And the few members of his own that he knows cannot forgive him.
“All right, enough - so be it! So be it, then.”
He gasps on his words now, pained and resigned. He doesn't know how to do anything else. If, maybe, he does this one last task...they will let him pass away as he should have long ago.
“Let all Earth be agreed,” he breathes. “I'm wicked through and through. Since I did not succeed, my people, saving you - I promise no good deed, will I attempt to do again...ever again!”
“No good deed,” he cries. “Will I do...again!”
He drops down to the concrete of the building's roof, wrapping his arms around himself as the tears begin to fall. Just one more task.
