The death penalty.
Chris is an imbecile, but also a psychopath, just a very stupid and cowardly one, with obsessions and fantasies that (somewhat) led him away from 'conventional' harm. If said fantasies are of any indication, he would have done worse, if not for cowardice and lack of physical strength, plus his overwhelming addiction to his games, toys etc..
Notice that whenever it came down to it so to speak, Chris was shown on multiple occasions to be uncannily intelligent or dedicated.
The medallion-up-the-butt incident, playing the trans card (for sex), warring against ED and others (threat of having all his junk taken away, courtesy of Bob and his gloom talk), hedgehog defensive posture incident (threat of being attacked by people), screaming, raging, 'voodoo doll' recreations, morbid drawings (hinting an understanding of how such things work and what they do to people), also the latter 4 being specific, elaborate and targeted.
Or, when he insinuated having an older woman as a girlfriend to Null:
Psychopaths have a peculiar double compulsion of bragging about their escapades while simultaneously obfuscating them, wanting that ego rush, but knowing that what they are showing off could have net negative consequences for them. He wanted to share the 'good news' with Null, but knew that it could get him in serious trouble.
And then the older woman turned out to be Barb. No goddess-preaching or crazy. Instant flight, then radio silence until he was found by the police and taped by Ralph.
But by far the biggest giveaway is how, outside of situations where he or an object of his fixations faces some kind of threat, perceived or real, Chris never displayed or displays the slightest level of distress, and how his conduct is generally fluent and smooth, not staggered and delayed like someone struggling with insanity or having severe neural defects.
Chris also never acknowledged fault for anything, and automatically shut out everything from his mind that went in direct, express contradiction to his imaginary pocket reality. His ability to pick up on the latter is strangely precise.
For an empathic person to behave like this, one would have to be subjected to some serious brainwashing (never happened to Chris), or extremely mentally exceptional. Someone sufficiently damaged to not even register such a brutally awful life and whatever comes with it would not be capable of thinking
remotely as sophisticated as Chris was. Not unassisted, at the very least.
Autists and such too pick up on pain sooner or later. It's simply not an excuse.
As for his present behavior? It's his limited, human brain suffering an overload from the exponentially growing stack of lies and fantasies he engineers.
