Be ''inspired'' by it. Your integrity carries a weight you can't ''imagine''. It has ''meaning''.

* In the first issue of the 2022 series, right before Daredevil leaves New York, he spends his last day busting crime alongside Franchise/SpiderMan. What's really heartwarming is that before he leaves he decides to reveal (or more accurately have him remember) his SecretIdentity as Matt Murdock. The first thing Spidey does after having his memories flush right back into him is to give his old buddy a ManHug. Right before this Daredevil mentions to himself about how he always ''hated'' keeping his identity a secret from Spider-Man, saying that he's one of the few people he trusts with his life.

* After Daredevil's [[spoiler: AccidentalMurder]] leaves him acting reckless and putting himself at risk, the Defenders attempt to calm him down by revealing they've all been in that situation and that it's understandable. When that fails to get through to him, Spider-Man approaches him in his apartment. He first reveals that he deliberately didn't read any street signs or look for any landmarks, meaning Matt's identity is safe, then explains that the rest of the superhero community has agreed to put Matt on a temporary retirement until he can get his head on straight. They aren't going to turn him in, they aren't going to challenge him. They just want him to take a break.

** There's also two issues later, when after Matt finds out that a retired villain/hero who he trusted tried to manipulate him, he starts to think he can't trust anyone. When Kirsten asks if that includes her, he insists of course not, because he loves her-the first time he's told her that. Combined with the above, a ''lot'' of fans are begging Marvel not to kill her.
