He... he hates himself a lot. He thinks he's stupid. That he's weak. That he's useless. And I think that... that comes from a part of him that hurts so bad, he's gotta prove it's right, even if he has to make it look that way.
[She wrings her hands against her knees.]
I... I don't think he's a kind person at all, Ochako-chan. He lies all the time, and he's really mean, and he says that he can't ever, ever be honest. Like he thinks something will happen if he doesn't make it all just... a made up story.
But no matter what he says about himself... he's really, really smart. He thinks about so many things and how they could go. He's thoughtful, even if he's really, really bad at showing it, or doesn't want to show it. He doesn't want bad things... he just... wants the world to see him as nothing special, because that's how he sees himself.
