The humiliation from Justin and the Thompson brothers nearly got to him.
His pretense was showing cracks.
Having hidden behind a persona for many years, Christopher thought his art was seamless. However, the moment Justin held Be as if to im his territory, Christopher nearly lost it. After much contemtion, Christopher decided to call the mystery man.
