Dark energy is hard to resist sometimes, especially for one who is of the Dark themself.
[He sounds less angry now and more like a sulky child. He doesn't want admit yet this wouldn't have happened if he'd only just had enough restraint to resist the darkness that had called to him from the book. He'd barely touched it before he had the compulsion to read it.]
As you said, reliance on others is a human trait, which I am not. Zabraks are fiercely independent as a species trait, and even if we were not, I learned from an early age that no one was going to help me unless I did it myself.
[There's something a little sad there to be realized beneath the snarling, angry words. It meant whoever had raised him had shown him no kindness or basic empathy growing up.]
