Telling Susie to “forget about him” and to make some “real friends” who, unlike him, can actually be there for her in important moments and not solely during moments of escapism. Completely disregarding his own isolation in favor of allowing someone else to be happy. His impermanence and conditionality in his friend’s lives, only interacting with them when they need to have an escape from their problems, thus never wanting to divulge his own problems lest he spoil the only reason he could possibly perceive anyone wanting to be with him. To relish in that, loving his "role" as nothing but a prop and a servant for their escapism, because that's the only way he gets any connection. Any thought given to him while "offline" and "touching grass" is pointless, and it's selfish for him to ever want that, ever want The Lightners to take a moment out of their awesome real lives to care about him.
