There are things that ~bros don't do to each other, and talking about the money is the one thing that Diane should not have done.
Ooh! This is good; this makes a lot of sense.
Perhaps it's just my perspective (I come from a world where no pro bono work exists, and no one gives a flying fuck about public image with regard to righteousness -- only to rights enforced and cases won) but I'd always considered Will a little...soft is not quite the right term, but maybe "emotional" is? Certainly more so than Diane.
She weighed her options very carefully, and like all of us she automatically, naturally assumed the other party would do the same: Even though she knew Will would be angry, I don't think she foresaw at all his reaction here.
But you've laid it out beautifully.
(It's why I'm also 100% certain that when everyone departs - if that's how they play it - Kalinda will be there with Will, watching his 'back'.)
Kalinda would fall into more archaic rules of how to stand by people and how not to, yeah...let me check out that old post; I think I do recall it.
