[ Hah... so he admits it outright. Levi's expression twists into a grimace. Though he has to wonder whether, when Gilgamesh imagines indulging in this cycle, he is thinking of winning or losing. He can't deny that it provokes him, even while simultaneously, he grasps that it's exactly what the man is hoping to do. The contradiction, not wanting to appease him, fuels his irritation. ]

Oi... you bastard. Who said you could project your filthy desires onto me? [ Clearly there's no obliviousness left in him. Should Gilgamesh too far in this vein, he's conflating him with a real sadist, isn't he? Levi doesn't like it, wants to insist on the distinction. ] I said it myself, didn't I? I'll do whatever I have to. If somebody's determined to make a mess, I'll stoop to any level necessary to clean it up.

[ But he's not instigating the mess in the first place. That's the difference. ]
