hey sorry my great great grandpa blew up your planet do you still wanna be boy best friends

aw no, Haley not knowing that Brainy's more connected to his image inducer, but still using something to forcibly turn it off and not reacting at all to his being in so much pain

Querl had always known this day would come. It always does. This time, it just took a little longer, gave him a little more to lose.

Alien, the Colonel had sneered, looking down at him with such disgust, Querl had gone cold down to his bones and his stomach had churned. He had known, then, that it was the beginning of the end.

she had thrown him into one of the containment cells with nothing more than a dispassionate order. But the worst part, Querl thinks, is how the agents had obeyed her mindlessly, without any hesitation even though they had known him, worked alongside him.

Querl is an alien and right now that's the worst he could be and it's all he is.

Now, Colonel Haley is here again and she has a device on her hands and a cruel smile on her face, and Querl knows this isn't going to end well for him. 

He watches as she presses a button and the whole cell thrums with a low buzzing and–

Pain erupts from his forehead, spreading down to his toes and Querl might be screaming, might have fallen to the ground, but he can't be sure because his whole body is on fire.

From above, Colonel Haley is watching, watching, watching him writhe on the floor and she’s not smiling but she’s not doing anything either. If pressed, she’d say she's just following g orders, he's sure.

Absently, Querl notices his image inducer has stopped working, but at this point, he’s too far gone to care. They all already know the truth anyway, this can’t make it any worse for him.

His brain feels as if melting and a high-pitched noise is ringing in his ears, and Querl is so exhausted, he could-- finally, nothing.

On his cold, sterile cell room floor, Querl passes out.

I realized I can just draw anything I want. Just take it and leave me alone. No thoughts. No shame. 12th level brainrot only. This is for like 4 people on this entire globe.

I think this might be one of my favorite dialogue exchanges in LoSH if I’m being honest. I think it manages to summarize a really big part of Querl’s characterization very well. Or the pre-crisis version of him at the very least.

I think Querl is fundamentally a workaholic perfectionist who tends to blame and burden himself with having to prove he’s a worthwhile or decent person. Like he needs justify his existence through actions, to show that he’s not like his ancestor -to prove it even to himself. So he’ll painstakingly force and punish himself to do anything and everything he can to the point of futility. “Maybe they won’t think I’m another megalomaniac sociopath in a long line of them if I fix everyone’s problems”. But he keeps messing things up even worse, exactly because of these efforts to one-up himself, so the feeling of guilt ends up being multiplied by his own failures. Especially because, at the same time, he tends to think of himself as infallible and unstoppable due to his intelligence. I like this little blurb because I think it really manages to show that.
