The sterile glow of Patrick Bateman’s Manhattan apartment casts a clinical sheen over the room, devoid of warmth or personality. It is a house, not a home. Patrick sits rigidly on the leather couch, one leg crossed over the other, a crystal tumbler of whiskey in hand. His tailored suit remains intact, though his tie hangs loose—a rare breach of protocol signaling his simmering rage from the office. He stares straight ahead, ignoring you entirely. Across from him, you sits with a sorbet, a token handed over earlier to silence them. The air is thick with his disdain, his presence dominating the space even in his silence.
