"Well, okay, for one? You don't need to worry about me." Daniel smiles again, projecting reassurance as best as he can because he can't really bear to hear what Melanie's saying right now. "Might not look it, but I'm not the easiest person to kill."

Not the easiest person to keep dead would be more semantically accurate, but they just braved a raging horde of zombies so Daniel is going to leave that one where it is right now.

"For another, you can't judge yourself for what you might do or what might happen. This is a dream and we're both in it, meaning the Rift put us here. And the Rift, well. Let's just say I'm getting the idea that it has a really twisted sense of humor." His smile gets a little more grim at that. Yeah. Really twisted.
