"stop!!! that's my friend!" screams the murderer that still believes in some sort of love

He's so lonely he's actually willing to accept the victims he's protecting as friends, despite the fact he likely knows they're going to die and has probably experienced it over and over.

He does a similar thing with the Union Boss too, he even makes a point to say stuff like "wheres the fucking decency? That's a human being." It's interesting that he views these people— who are dehumanised by basically everyone, both the reagents and Murkoff— as actual people. Maybe he even feels for them due to the dehumanisation?

I'm unsure if the prime assets get time to talk to their victims before trials but I could imagine he'd maybe treat them similar to friends. Maybe comfort them in his own sort of way (like how we see him reassure the DA and the union boss both— "Don't worry, Mr. D.A., soon as I wipe these pieces of shit off my shoes, you'll be right back, neck deep in bakelite pussy" & "You gonna get outta there, pal, don't worry. Franco's word is his fuckin' bond.") Given how he speaks of his word and his promise a lot as well, I do wonder if maybe he directly promises each of them that he'll protect them? It sort of adds more hurt onto him when they die, because it maybe makes him feel he's not actually able to keep his word despite saying so.
