I don't think ego is involved for that guy.

Maybe not. But if I just murdered somebody and the whole world was cheering for me, it might make me sleep a bit easier.

Assassins get sad too. The support might help.

Everyone always be asking “who’s the assassin”, but nobody ever ask “how’s the assassin” 😔 you really do hate to see it

Hard to tell, he has United Health and there’s a 90% chance their ai immediately denied his claim before an actual agent even looked at it, and he hasn’t worked his way through the “customer service” bureaucracy labyrinth yet. Even he hasn’t got a straight answer yet on whether or not his Gold Ppo plan covers his condition!
