I just know that after Pete left, Vegas replayed the whole moment before Pete knocked him out, and realized Pete could've simply harmed him with the knife he took from him, but that wasn't the point. The point wasn't to hurt Vegas, the point wasn't to injure him, it was to just escape from him.

Because considering Vegas' abandonment and trust issues as well as anger issues, he could have gone down the path of being angry at Pete because Pete tricked him into letting his guard down. But he knows Pete cares about him enough to not want to hurt Vegas, even after everything Vegas did to him physically and mentally, and that must drive Vegas to agony.

Violence would be easier, it would be simple. Pete could have had his closure in stabbing Vegas after what Vegas put him through. It would be logical and cold. Instead Pete knocks him out and leaves (reluctantly), and Vegas is alone again, but unharmed and things are so much more complicated. Pete leaves because Vegas hurt him again, keeping him captive even though Pete showed Vegas he could trust him by not running away the first time. Pete cares, he cares so much his heart was broken. And he still left Vegas unharmed.

And then you get to the part where they reunite and Vegas puts Pete's rage to the test and puts his gun to his chest. But Pete just breaks down, and Vegas sees it more clearly then ever that Pete just can't bring himself to do anything that could really harm Vegas.

It's complex and it's beautiful

“humanity is inherently selfish and bad” bbbrrrghuhjfkg. humanity is seeing a stranger’s grocery bag break open on the sidewalk and harvesting fruits and veggies from the branch-like cracks of the asphalt for them, just because you can. humanity is helping a lost child find their mother on a crowded beach, looking for the ladybug-patterned parasol with their hummingbird-small hand in yours. it’s an elder’s fingers wrapped around your arm as you help them up the stairs because the elevator is broken, and feeling like you’re doing exactly what you’re supposed to be doing, like this is what you would’ve been doing had you been alive centuries or even millennia ago. there will always be a heavily pregnant woman who will smile at your when you give up your seat, a nice blind man in the fruit aisle who will ask you to please pick the riper plantain for him, a tired cashier whose face will light up when you compliment their tattoo sleeve. humanity is connection

The “humanity is inherently selfish and bad” trope is yet another iteration of propaganda meant to blame innocent masses for problems that are directly caused by the top percentage of obscene wealth-hoarders. It is born from a probably subconscious rationalization for their extreme greed, ie “anyone would do what i’m doing if they were in my position because it’s just human nature.” Anyway it’s total bullshit and the truth is that human beings are love in motion.
