"Getting old sucks," he says in response to her squawk, as though that is the problem here. "But you know, he died doing what he loved. I think. Honestly, I don't know. Maybe it's just that the economy sucks and the Carnival pays better than McDonalds."

And then he's off on his mission to help all of the other victims. Does it say something that he exacted his vengeance on the carny before helping the people? Maybe. But it perhaps also says something that he's so eager to help everyone - albeit with prompting to nudge him out of his dark place.

But when she asks him to be gentle with them, he pauses and actually listens. And he is more gentle with them at her request. She perhaps doesn't get how unusual it is for someone's voice to pierce his enthusiastic madness. Sure, there was a short list of people who could, but he'd technically just met her.

And she'd been kind to him in his lowest moment, and she'd helped him out.

That meant something, and even though he was Deadpool again, he remembered it.
