"I work from home. I'm in the office, technically." He liked to wear a suit, it helped to ground his day-night cycles and important times. He wore a suit when working and pyjamas when sleeping and... he didn't own lounge wear. He mostly just worked. Working was fun, it was a good distraction and he didn't have to risk Jerome ever interfering. Like he could ever understand his job. "Some of us have lives. Work. Things to do with our lives but torment and destroy."

Jerome was a bad kid. Always had been. Bad kid, bad adult. It was what it was. Jerome had nothing in his life but chaos.

He didn't deserve to be alive still. It wasn't fair. "Let me leave. We have nothing to discuss. I let you live, you should let me live." Worth a try.
