Summary
He doesn’t need it—he doesn’t need anything from anyone, really; his civilization was built on anonymity and replaceability for a reason—but he allows it. It’s a weakness, probably, but he indulges in it as he sits down and Squiddo starts brushing his hair from bottom to top, gentle hands on his scalp and a humming melody on their lips.
Squiddo takes care of Ash, and Ash takes care of Squiddo.

Summary
One of the few well-documented things about exploiting is how it can change the user. Mentally, in the way of realizing that there is power in warping reality, and what are consequences to a god? Emotionally, in the overwhelming rush of adrenaline and control over whatever has been altered.
There’s another possible alteration, though, one that is not so much talked about. Physical warping, the loss of humanity through seizing godhood, or some fragment of it, for one’s own gain.
