I believed that many influential figures in business, government, and finance shared the same lack of conscience as the character. They operated without remorse for their actions, only showing regret or remorse when they got caught. This made me see the world as filled with people driven solely by self-interest and greed.
"I knew that she was a psychopath, just like Gary. No conscience. I believed that business, the government, Wall Street were filled with people like that. No regret for their actions. Not unless they got caught. Then the crocodile tears started."
