Honestly, pre-ED Chris reminds me of this kid from my class as a kid who I would ocassionally greet, until he found out I too liked Sonic and we became kinda friends. Sure, you can handle them for a few hours while playing videogames or something, and sure they would probably sometimes crack a good joke or make something “normal” that makes you feel like you're hanging out with a functional human being, but you'd get tired of their shit and go home. But then these kids usually also have some troubles with their parents (i.e., they don't live together, they neglect them or overprotect them, or are generally exceptional individuals themselves), and you would also pity on them for not having more friends.
