If Patrick Bateman was a dentist, this would be it. Like dude, an entirely empty room with only a trashcan? Taking a sip of gasoline and 20 sips of liquor before work? This guy has issues. Then again, he's a dentist. I love the absurdism! By the way, I also consulted a dictionary and found this meaning of "scale", but I did not expect someone to actually go ahead with it
