He was... kinda always a bit of ass with me. I think I get why, I mean, I projected some shit that wasn't true onto him, but... messin' with me was fine. He didn't have to drag people into that shit. People that I care about.

[He does understand that feeling, though. It's something he said himself when he confronted Jack.]

...Back home, I would have been a lot like that too. I was, for a while. Fucking with people just to prove they couldn't get under my skin, that I didn't care about them. Being so angry at the way the world treated me that I felt like it was only fair to fuck with it right back. Some of it was that SQUIP's fault, but... I still think I'm responsible for a lot of it.
