Who's this asshole? Sounds like him but a nerd.

"... I mean yeah. I guess I technically work for a corporation now but they're not really paying me? And they let me do my own thing."

So not 'work for' as much as 'hangs around'. "But the guy who ran it before was a real asshole. Only cared about profits and not people. One of those guys who would literally rather die than wear anything but a suit."

Clearly one of the worst crimes imaginable. He turns and faces the younger man. "I hit him until he exploded."

Chai that's probably not something you want to admit to a stranger -
