I didn't just wake up and think "hell, I'm going to try and bag me Arthur Kirkland," if that's what you're thinking. I never really hated you or nothing...and a few years back, I decided I didn't like picking on you either. Not as bad as your brothers.
...You sorta grew on me. And I started noticing how nice you look when you're happy, and it made me feel happy too, inside anyway.
[He trails off and looks out the window, drawing a deep breath.]
I don't wanna be the guy that makes you angry all the time. Because I think you oughta look forward to something, and not think about being picked on. And I wanted to be the person that made you feel good. Not the asshole that's been teasing you your whole life. It's just like I said, though...I couldn't turn the teasing off. I was afraid you'd think "good riddance" and be done with me.

...So that's all of it, I think.
