Guess who is large, squishy, and ever-so-recently shed tears over just how good bread is. Coby's derisive outlook towards his past self, with whom Asher feels he might identify, is definitely making him uncomfortable.
So what does he do? Say more uncomfortable things (that he really, truly doesn't mean).]
I used to be [ a slave? no, too harsh. asher is a soft guy, his world isn't as terrible as the big blue. (is it) ] in service to a pirate ship when i was younger my cowardice was the only reason im still alive so I guess that as these things go, there's nothing really wrong with being rightfully afraid.
I just think it's too bad it had to be in such a bad place.
[It's here where his state of mind shifts, where it's clear that he's paying more attention.
Asher, afraid of the insects and unsure of whether he could handle them or not, had avoided them to his best abilities. As a result, the bugs hadn't gotten close enough to bite him.]
No, actually.
[But perhaps that's for the best. His time spent with others at different parts of their lives has given him a little hope, because it seems that they were not always who they were now.
I did nothing but hide throughout, but I'm sure that if I hadn't it wouldn't have been quite so bad. Not with everyone here. If I could count on anyone to help then, it would be my friends now, right?

I was a crybaby when I was younger.
Small and round and constantly afraid. I was so cowardly, it's amazing I survived so long.

No, actually.

So that means he can change someday too.
Asher doesn't realize it yet, but he is already.]
