Garrett's life in Halifax revolved around his family, which included his wife and their twin children. However, the moment that defined him was his final phone call, not to a loved one, but to his boss. This call became a haunting memory for him, encapsulating the disconnect between his personal life and professional obligations.

During that last conversation, he expressed himself using standard corporate jargon, a string of clichés that lacked genuine emotion. Phrases like "touch base" and "circle back" were frozen in time, representing not just a professional identity but a stark contrast to the warmth of his family life, making his last words feel particularly empty and regretful.
