THIS GOT THE SMALL MAN SHAKING. “No, really– I didn’t mean to do it! I can’t control it– it… it’s still my fault, but that doesn’t mean it was intentional!”
Blatantly stupid. Bluntly honest, Completely aware of it– that was Fabien LaFayette in a nutshell. He couldn’t bring himself to tell a lie, as he feared it’d only lead to punishment and agony, so he wasn’t trying to play innocent at all when he said he never intended his crime.
“Y-YOU… YOU’RE A MONSTER, aren’t you? You’re just a criminal! You like hurting people, if anyone’s putting on an act its you! I hurt people but at least I don’t like it when I do it!”
“A criminal?” He actually laughed-- threw his head back and laughed at the other. “You think I, the Riddler, would allow people to refer to me as a common criminal? Oh, you really are an idiot, aren’t you?”
His expression was somber once more when his eyes met the stranger’s once again. “I don’t hurt people. I provide them with ever-important mental stimulation to keep their small, simple minds functioning. If they hurt themselves because they were too stupid to figure it out on their own, that’s hardly my fault, now is it?”
