I want to do what's right. Finnick is incredibly jaded by his own experiences, so the sentiment strikes him as naive, despite the fact that Finnick is actually doing it for the exact same reason. In fact, there is no reward for him now, since he already claimed his Bones for this quest. Perhaps he just hasn't... Admitted his own reasoning to himself yet, because he doesn't think of himself as any sort of hero. He feels more like he just has to do this without really examining why.

Still, her motivation being not just the money heartens him, and he nods.

"Me too. Let's go."

Once she counts down, he dives in after her with barely a splash. He pauses to make sure she's all good before swimming down ahead of her, motioning for her to follow him.

Breathing underwater still feels... Wrong, but it's also amazing. It's so much more freeing to swim knowing that he physically cannot drown.

He leads her down the side of an underwater cliff, and the purple glow becomes more intense. He's not trying to be particularly stealthy; he doesn't see much point in it now, since he plans to kill them on sight anyway. He searches around, wondering if there's anyone here this time. If there's anyone left to kill, even.
