"...that's all you." 

"Well, I don't know what kind of shitty-ass good people you have on Disney Planet but that's what goodness means here."

"No, I mean — my Asher doesn't have that. Ben has that, I think Chen has that, but Asher doesn't." 

"That's-- weird. It's like the most important thing about me."

"I don't know why. I just know that if there were, I don't know, an eight year old who was sometimes possessed by an evil god, King Ben would go to pour resources into evil god containment methods and Asher would go 'whoops, the eight year old fell out a fifth story window.' He doesn't do that but if it came down to it he would." 

"I mean, it's not that I never would, it's just-- there are a lot of things you can rationalize by claiming they're necessary to create a better world, and somehow the better world never seems to show up."

He keeps himself very deliberately relaxed. "He's never actually. I don't know if it's Ben or just that he's never needed to or what." 

"I guess it makes sense. If his parents have never killed anybody probably he is less sensitive about the subject."

Still very deliberately relaxed. "Yeah. Probably." 

"I can read your body language."

"I know." It's intended to be read. 

"You're uncomfortable."

"....you're upset and that's kind of always uncomfortable." Also you get really insistent about morals being real and that's kind of uncomfortable especially from Asher but holy hell is he not going to say that. 

"Sorry," he says with a grin. "I can be like that these days."

"And now you're pretending not to be upset because it was making me uncomfortable and that's also uncomfortable." 

"It's hard to win with you."

"If your goal is for me to not be uncomfortable in a conversation about morality then yeah you're not going to win that one." 

"Because all the people you know who claim to be moral are mostly using it as an excuse to hate gay people and poison random strangers."

"There are good people who don't suck but yeah, mostly. And the people who aren't using morality as an excuse get really, really fucked up by it, Chen had a panic attack when he figured out he was queer. And because — it's a lever I don't have and don't really want to have and most people insist that I have to have." 

"I guess I kinda got fucked up by morality but that doesn't mean I want to stop being moral because-- there are things that matter more than my continued mental health, actually. And I'm not getting fucked up by being gay, which is fine, I'm getting fucked up by murdering people all the time, which is actually bad."

"....it still seems a little weird to me but I think that's because the people I know who'd be fucked up by killing people haven't killed anyone, it's not — learning you're gay and deciding the only acceptable thing to do is burn all your bridges so nobody has to be near you and it's evil to want to be hugged by someone you're attracted to —" 

"I did try to do that after I murdered Sasha."

Sasha hugs him. 

"Sasha wouldn't let me."

"Of course he wouldn't. — I didn't let Chen either, obviously."
