His elder son had been caught drinking by his mother, leading to a heated confrontation in which the teenager hurled curses at her. 

Enraged, she phoned Jimmy to shift the blame onto him.

She screamed and berated him over the phone, prompting him to rush home and address the situation with his son.

Despite his attempts to guide him, the young man was unresponsive, accusing Jimmy of abandonment and laying the blame squarely on his shoulders.

Before Jimmy left around eleven at night, he confided in his wife. 

She concurred that he had been absent, never bothering to visit or inquire about joint custody.

In her own words, Jimmy must have been relieved when she divorced him and took the children. 

Jimmy took this blow stoically, even though it stung. A truth though. 

Upon his return, nearly midnight, he offered a milkshake he had in his car to Ben, a homeless man who often lingered near the entrance to his apartment building.

The same man Drew offered cigarettes to when he was waiting by the apartment building to kill Charlotte by himself.

As he prepared to rest, he recalled the task of moving the bag from Charlotte’s apartment downstairs.

Who can forget such a responsibility? Well, heartbroken Jimmy. 

Dressing in seldom-used attire, and gloves, and armed with a master key and a flashlight, he embarked on the mission.

Although some of the apartment building’s floors were still lively, Charlotte’s fourth-floor corridor was quiet. 

With parties underway on the first and third floors, he chose to use the back stairs, as few people opt for them when elevators are functioning.

With trepidation, he entered her apartment.

Despite his shock at the sight of Charlotte’s wrapped body, he managed to place it in the bin, transport it out of the room, descend the stairs, and load it onto the truck by four in the morning.

Between midnight and that moment, he sat in the room with her lifeless form, reminiscing about how his son was spiraling down a destructive path and taking the blame upon himself.

 Most of the time, he used these moments to recount the fond memories he had shared with Charlotte, expressing genuine happiness for having had her as a tenant and lamenting the reasons for their falling out.
