[ and wasn't that something special, seeing Charlie actually get angry? He wasn't sure he had it in her. his respect ticks up a notch. ]
And what makes you think it's any different here? Just because the angels we've met seem nice doesn't mean they are. [ politely does not mention charlie's girlfriend's betrayal. ] And we don't know a thing about what this so-called "god" is actually planning.
[ see, she does get angry, but none of you are enough to make her angry, skill issue ] Well, the reception to me -- and all of you, has been very different, for starters.
I'm willing to give them a chance. That being said.... [ her expression darkens ] if they are lying to you all, if this is some kind of trick to prey on the vulnerable--- well. That's not something I would stand for.
Because I would rather do something than nothing at all. And... because I do like helping people. If I can't help myself, at least I can try to help others.

What do you do then?
And don't pretend like you'd still keep trying. That's a lie and we both know it.
