Like the apartment life wasn't high, too? My place was huge. Guards at the door and everything. [No way he could've afforded that as a fifteen-year-old kid in the heart of Insomnia without the Crown's money paying for it all.] That wasn't why.
Not bad. It was more like a penthouse than what I'd call an apartment then. I wouldn't know though, I was from one of the wealthiest families in the world too.
[Not quite a penthouse - comparable, and he'd looked at a few - but close enough that he shrugs.]
Just... I dunno. Citadel was too stifling. Dad was always busy, I had to sit through like five layers of security to come and go, I couldn't have friends over.
[Not that he had friends, but being so isolated didn't help.]
I hated being reminded of what my life would eventually be. Wanted to live a little, figure out who the hell I was before destiny or whatever forced me to be what it needed.
