lmao yeah i pity him, sure, but the fact that he had zero sympathy for Dan when they first met, especially since he grew up poor, irks me. because you'd expect his behaviour to be of someone who grew up around money, not from a dude who lived similarly to Dan when he was young. He's fundamentally an asshole.

He paid it off simply because it was getting in the way of his "treatment". You can check chapter 18. To quote him directly, "Your sorry little situation was starting to mess with my needs, think of it as an advance." He transferred Dan's debt to himself as collector, where he uses sex as repayment. that's not sympathy, he's all for himself, he "helps" Dan when it's beneficial to him.
