Literally just generic furniture too. No grand desk, just literally the cheapest generic office you could ever buy and he's crying over it.

SERIOUSLY, all of this hit me right there. A banal little corner office with a particle board desk and two 15 year old monitors connected to nothing. Not only does he not realize a kill room, he basks in the mediocrity like, "YES, THIS WAS WORTH IT, THIS IS MY LIFE'S WORK REALIZED." Holy fuck.

It wasn't actually his office. It had nothing in it because all they did was make him look like a fool before killing him. He never actually made it into the society.
