Betelgeuse: I'm the most annoying ever! I'm insane and no one knows what I want (inclusing myself)!

Echidna: Hold my tea.

I love how her mechanic empathy and feelings are shown. The classic understanding of a psychopath having no feelings or empathy is largely outdated. Recent studies show that in fact psychopaths are often capable of degrees of empathy greater than others. The key here is understanding the absurd level of control they have so they can choose to be empathic or not on a whim, in order to fullfil their goals.

Like experienced actors, they know that the best way to act is to incorpprate the character. After all, why lie if you can bend the truth to your likings?
