George has issues. A lot of them, actually.

His mother was diagnosed with cancer a couple years ago; his friends left him shortly after he'd suddenly vanished for two weeks, not responding to any messages or calls; and he was working two jobs a day - just to afford living here somehow.

He felt as if he was all alone in the whole world - and almost everything made him feel absolutely gutted about it.

So it's no surprise he felt the need to do something for it to go away.
