You are aware, more than most, of the sort of people they are.
[Those who he met that night. Of course they aren't going to blame him, though he wishes they would. Punkass binches.]
—In any case, I didn't-- [Come here to throw a cheeseburger sasuke party for himself. He shakes his head, sighing.] You are all the same sort of person. I worried.
[DON'T GIVE HIM THAT LOOK SIR YOU'RE ABOUT TO TRY TO SELF-TERMINATE IN A DAY AND THEN GET POSSESSED HELLO.]
You are the type of person who disregards yourself while doing whatever you can for others. [He's the same, so he can See It.] So I know this is a difficult thing to request.
[HE PERCEIVES!! This is what happens when you vibe with other batmans too much, even if Hugo's lacking the vengeance-y component.]
You and I both know that isn't what I'm referring to. [Because he also thinks he's been selfish and self-centered! He's taken plenty for himself, and he's hurt others to do so.
But being selfish isn't the same as being kind. It's that way when directed inward, and it's that way when directed outward, too.]
You are a good person, and in the time that we've had here, I'm glad to have known you. Please at least know that by you being here, things were a little better.
[Yeah he's gained power by being dead. It's the power to be a lil punkass binch.]
One should first remove the thorn from their own eye... [HE SEES YOU, HE'S CALLING IT OUT. But then, with a sigh:] Would you try, if I say that I will? Even just a little.
If you were to give me your word that you would. [...] It's not as though I would expect a miraculous turn-around, either. When one is set in their ways for years, it becomes nearly impossible to break out of it. [Especially when you're a low self-esteem, self flagellate-y type.] If you would just think of this promise when you're being particularly cruel toward yourself, then that would be enough for me.
[Binch. He knows this is probably just going to be both of them going "...okay I thought about it for two seconds, WELL ANYWAY", but look. Any step forward is a step in the right direction.

You don't need to worry about that. I've been plenty self-centered.

If I did, would it change your ability to do the same?

Would you actually?

There's a little smile for the lad!]
Thank you, Hugo.

I've been hearing that quite often lately, for some reason.
