He sighs, a long and ragged sound when Owen's finally done.]
Owen, I barely know you.
You're cocky and arrogant. You make a lot of assumptions about yourself on behalf of everybody else. You don't really have a lot of respect for people, or any respect for yourself.
You also have limits. You don't want to be seen as weak. You'd rather other people pretend parts of you don't exist entirely. You twist people's words to get them to feel mad, so that you don't have to feel like you're being seen.
Why would I think comeuppance would be fun for someone like you, when you're just doing it to yourself?
