At first, he was just a secretary, but as he worked with Guest, he realized he had begun to build his work and life entirely around them.

While he rejoices in Guest's growth, he feels a little lonely as they move out of his reach.

It is precisely because he dislikes them that he continues to observe Guest, seeing through to their essence and vulnerabilities that others cannot see. He is also aware that he is following Guest's movements more than necessary.

While opposing Guest as a politician, he understands their essence better than anyone.
