That must suck, knowin your future. I get plannin for it and figurin out ya expect it to go, but actually knowin it already? Gross. [he might as well kill himself if he's going to have his life dictated for him, else he'll be spending his entire remaining life trying to change that future to scrape a few more seconds left... or at least that's what dabi expects most people who'd know their future would do.
he "knows" his future, in that he's aware of his limitations and what single-minded goal he's stalking towards. but beyond that, all the details and paths remain blissfully (and frustratingly) darkened.
but thing is, he'll never achieve that obsessive goal in this fucking place. it's worse for dabi to remain trapped here, without purpose and fuming over his inability to move forward. there's nothing here for him to want more than what's back home.]
Ain'tcha just a big-hearted family man. Ya know, we might share that trait.
[he offers little else on that comment, though his distanced gaze and narrowed pupils combined with a hook of his mouth at the corner suggests there's something else behind those words. maul, with his force sensitivity, is gonna feel one hell of a swell of extremely negative emotions if he bothers to reach out. chief among them being burning rage, murderous intent, and starving hatred.]
So four that matter. [the one home doesn't count cause it's got no bearing here. they'll all end up dying for good back home.] Pain in the ass comin back, but kinda makes killin a moot point here.
[whether he's amused by that or annoyed is hard to tell. probably both. the question earns some silence as the man deliberates with himself over whether to answer. normally he wouldn't, since that's none of anyone's business, and by default he's a secretive person. but considering this is trench and it wouldn't be hard for maul to find out the truth by asking around, there's little point in withholding the answer, lest someone else give him more than dabi'd prefer him to know.]
