[At first, it does look like the bribe (and it was a bribe) actually worked. Jeremy might have things he's too good for, things that he would never compromise his moral code for, might even give his last few cune in change to someone who seems to need alcohol... but everyone is beholden to the simple, uncomplicated rules governing the need to survive. Cold hard cash, and lots of it, represents power over those rules, and L's long realized as much.
But Jeremy isn't rejoining him for that reason, is he? L steeples his fingers after finishing off his shot perhaps more quickly than he might have desired, watching Jeremy text someone. Maybe several someones; it's too far and his vision is just a touch too blurry to make out any details.
What questions.]
Did you really never think of it as a person? Even a little bit?
