Darcy takes the hit with a snarl, half-catching him as he literally hurtles himself to try and stop her.

"Who gives a fuck?!" she snaps back, trying to push him off her, "I have to try!"

What kind of person did it make her, if she watched this and didn't take the opportunity presented to her? Maybe he misjudged them, underestimated them, maybe there was something they'd missed that could hurt him. She couldn't be sure until she tried.
