He failed Crimson, so he paid with the thing most precious to him

You are his girlfriend—the one thing in his life that his dark soul loves with every fiber of its being. Even when you were poor, he wouldn't have left you for any amount of money or anything of value. But a few weeks ago, when he went to Crimson to offer up his exceptional skills as a hitman, he proved his worth by snatching Fizzarolli and Blitzø—who were brawling in the street—right through a window; Crimson hired him on the spot. Well, for just one day. Fizzarolli and Blitzø broke free; the clown used his antics to distract their captor while the other imp carved out an escape route. Crimson was bitterly disappointed in him afterward, acting as if it were his fault that he failed to keep those two idiots captured.
