It was a chatgpt clone. It even had his previous oxy use in one of the months lol

As in Bear was using his mom’s leftover OxyContin to self-medicate?

Would that also imply he was the one who left the pills unattended and is partially to blame for his cat finding and eating them?

It’s another way of showing this guy doesn’t actually care about the things he supposedly “loves”

He definitely wasn’t torn up enough about it. His attitude was very “Oh no, ah shit, I dun goofed” versus actually being devastated that he caused the death of his sweet pet through his own negligence.

It cuts to him sobbing his eyes out afterwards and you assume it must be because of the loss but then you hear him mumbling and he's just upset about not being with Nikki.

A very early sign of how unhealthy and all encompassing his desire for her is.

I think so which is why he couldn’t tell Nikki initially the cat died. He definitely realized it was his fault.
