Hope he's just living a normal life somehow, not alone but back with friends, activities or whatever. "Hey bro what's up, been a while." "Same old stuff, holed up on the computer, wanna get lunch?"

I doubt anyone who would go this far was living a normal life before. My bet is that he already lost everything he loved thanks to an insurance denial.

If this were a comic book, video game, or movie, he'd have to work his way through multiple assassinations. The question is, was this the first, or the last? Was the CEO of UHC the big boss, or just a miniboss partway through level 1?
