Can he hug a spider? Well, Jeff's going to try. He doesn't think something like Aster can be killed, really. Things like that, they operate with totally different rules, in a reality that's slightly askew, even if it sometimes overlaps with this whole messy flesh-and-blood world.

They can't be killed in any real sense of the word, far as he figures. But it'd be a dick move to say that, right? So he just offers some quiet support for now.
