Redirect A's enthusiasm into mad science, keep D's propensity for acknowledging the law can touch her. Also keep the sadism.

From deed to dream, from dream to deed,
From daring hope to hope,
The restless wish, the instant need,
Still lashed him up the slope!

I sing no governed firmament,
Cold, ordered, regular—
I sing the stinging discontent
That leaps from star to star!
-- Unrest, Donald Marquis
