Because you've slighted me. After all, you were insulting for quite a while before I called you out on your cowardice. You broke at a single word.

You see what confirms your terrified viewpoint and ignore anything else.

As such, you've missed that I don't want to cause needless collateral damage either. But oh! That doesn't make sense for a demon, after all I'm just as rabid and mindless as you, clearly that can't be the case!

Go on, tell me the 'demon reason' for not wanting to drag in bystanders, I'm sure it'll be entertaining and utterly idiotic.
