"Useful is, uh, mostly what I've got going for me!" Fuck, Casper thinks he's a good person, that actually kind of makes him feel worse. "I'm not a good person, I'm-- my character requires that I be-- I'm the scum spy traitor, but it's not like anyone liked me before they knew that, and it's not like the people I'm spying for like me either, and you shouldn't just think I'm good if you don't know what I am, I'm like the second scummiest character in the novel!" Fuck not spilling that, he doesn't want to-- to make Casper think he's-- something he isn't. "Good was sort of off the list of options the moment I woke up as the baby that would grow up to be Shang Qinghua, haha!" Please don't hate him. But if Casper does, at least that's-- honest. And normal. He knows how to deal with being hated.

"You're-- whatever you want to be. You're Casper. Unless there's a whole myth about Casper the demigod forcing your hand, you get to make it up!" Is that actually encouraging? He has no idea. He doesn't get to have an identity crisis, he knows exactly who he has to be.

Oh god, he made Casper blush. That's-- he is feeling some kind of way. Oh god he looks pretty like that. Fuck. Be normal, Airplane. "People should be nicer to you, you're the one who's a good person! Shit is like, always hard, but it's not--you don't deserve to get the shit end of the stick! You're like, a legendary hero, and you care about other people, and you're nice and no one is ever nice to me either-- and it's? Okay? I mean if you want to like, not be around me anymore, that's fine! But, it's-- um-- fuck, I don't know how to be comforting, I'm sorry! I'm not like, good at people, and I don't have like, a script for what to do if someone is nice to me, I don't know what I'm doing, I just say things, I'm sorry, don't cry, I can like, go? If you want?" Good job, scum, you made the nice boy cry, you can't even be friendly right. "Fuck. I'm sorry?"
