No matter how well you do what you tried to do, it should be easy for everyone to see your intentions behind your actions. And if they can't, then they need ta open their eyes. And your arguments make sense. I was created as a trigger-happy henchman who kills anyone interfering with the plans of Cortex, and I was like that when I first entered this world as well. But when I met Teal, someone who looked like a mix between a squid and an ankle biter, I felt like I wasn't alone and wanted to protect them as I knew what the world could do and say against her. I didn't know that she was from a different world where she was considered normal, but that is besides the point."
"I know all about those stares and the fear, being as I am. Sometimes exploiting that fear can be useful, but the friends you make that way will leave you as soon as they can. I know it can be hard to make people like you, but you don't have to change yourself to get people to like you. If you are yourself, you'll be much more appreciated by others. Just remember this, even if we have to part ways one day, I'll still be your friend and I'll be proud of you no matter what."
