Damian is trying to understand though
comparison to his own interests and experiences, so good job buddy! HE’S TRYING

Upon being described as alternative but emotionally sad yet aggressive, Damian posits "So, they're kinda nu metal music in a character?"
he daydreams Shadi singing Linkin Park.

Ash aggrees. "Yes! But rather then get sad or sing about it he, well, does violence to look cool." He does heavy air quotes around "look cool."

Damian dryly remarks to real life events with "There is no such thing a cool violence."
Ash looks embarrassed at how literal he took the statement despite the air quotes. "Oh yeah! Which is why this is such a power fantasy! We can vent our frustrations here instead of - well... yeah."
Shadi laughs maniacally in game, weilding a gun as everything is on fire.

Shadi shouts things in game as Ash takes a drink. "Behold! the ultimate weapon! I will get results no matter what! Damn! Death to all who oppose me!"
Damian hunches forward, resting on his hands in thought as he watches and listens to Shadi yell about controlling the situation. Without moving, he looks to Ash and mumbles: "Am I an edgelord?"

Ash does a spit-take.
