He makes the executive decision to drop the needle--well, toss it vaguely in the direction of his robes, he'll probably be able to find it later, whatever--so he'll have both hands free to pull Casper closer. "No, hey, shh. Dealing with you is like, possibly the best thing that has ever happened to me, do not be sorry for that. And you're not broken. And definitely not awful. You are like, the least awful person I have ever met in my life, and I am literally including Zhangmen-shixiong in that, and he's like the ultimate paragon of Proud Immortal Demon Way." He's somewhat concerned about hurting Casper, touching him when he's covered in wounds, but he... hopes that affection will help more than it might hurt? He wraps one arm around Casper's waist and cups his face with the other hand. "It's okay, 心爱. It's not your fault. You didn't do anything wrong."
He pauses, because he saw the mulish set to Casper's face earlier, and knows the younger man doesn't want to buy that. What argument might... "You don't think it's the fault of anyone else who got trapped that it happened, do you? Like Mario, he got stuck too, right? And there's no way it's Super Mario's fault that the plants went insane. Or that girl you were talking to, with the mad hair, you don't blame her, right? You have just as much no fault at all as anyone else. You didn't tell the ship to turn the lights on."
