[Yeah, that was. That was what about what he expected. The SQUIP couldn't hide its god complex too long. It was going to go full anime villain eventually, and Rich is pretty sure that's starting right now. He's both relieved that Aziraphale will see it now and disgusted that the SQUIP turned its vitriol onto someone who was only trying to help.]
You're not listening, are you? I'm not surprised, since you think I'm below you, but that's not what I meant. I was talking about being a decent person. There's a lot of people out there who aren't human who can accomplish that. But you? You think emotions are human and useless. They're beneath you. That puts kindness down there too.
Connor wouldn't be disgusted to be compared to a human. You are.
[He's about to argue that he knows for a fact the SQUIP will eventually fail at keeping his connections, opt straight for mind control to artificially mend the frays moral tension has caused, but the SQUIP wheels on Aziraphale completely then, and Rich...
Well, maybe the SQUIP was wrong to think Rich would be afraid. Because without even a second of hesitation, despite Aziraphale being, well, something supernatural and probably ten times more capable of handling any damage the SQUIP could deal, Rich jumps in between them, arms outstretched in a kind of overdramatic pose for what was supposed to be a diplomatic conversation.]
Hey, hey! Talk shit about me all you want, but leave him out of this! I know you can't get it through your brand new skull, but he's trying to do something good. You don't get to take that away.
