[And in true Ace fashion, he punches him for being stupid.]
What the hell is wrong with you?! Do you want to burn to death?!
[There's a roaring fire in his veins, in his ears, in his heart, and everything hurts, and he can feel it spreading out and --]
[He calmly makes sure he's not too burned before checking on the idiot too.]

[He'd saved people from fires before. Why was this different?]
Fuck! Idiot! You're not supposed to die like that!
[Another punch!]
Don't show me up by being a martyr! If you wanna die, don't do it by turning my fires into murder, just let me kill you directly if you're so damn eager!
