[ But it's from a place of earnest desperation, and he understands. That's the worst of it. Ozpin understands completely.
But it is just not that simple, no matter how fervently he's always wished it to be. There is no neat and easy line to draw around the concept of good. They must all muddle through together, doing what needs to be done.
When he speaks again, it is in a carefully level tone, still tight with emotion. ]
You claim that he is lashing out in fear, not in hatred, and that this behavior can be rehabilitated without further harm to unrelated innocents. Is that correct?
From where I stand, we do not have a jailer prepared, nor a promise of compliance, nor anything else to stop him coming after the boy again. He has targeted Glitch repeatedly, over the network and in person. This is a pattern of behavior, Doctor, not an isolated incident for which he might feel remorse.
I understand the desire for rehabilitation. [ More softly: ] I understand the desire to think anyone capable of redemption. To hope that any one mistake need not define a person, no matter how horrendous.
But I do not see evidence that Maul intends anything but more bloodshed.

And that's who we need to find. [The Doctor remarks firmly]
It's a pattern of behavior because of Maul's deep rooted trauma with lighting.
I visited him and I'm still here. Because I'm trying to understand him.

Perhaps you are still here because you are not his intended victim?
