\u2018Ben never told me how Chelsea treated him. He never told me how bad things were at his job. He never mentioned Grindset University. I barely knew it existed. I asked about Chelsea. I asked about his job. I asked why he was staying awake all night online. I tried to get him to turn his screens off and go to sleep at a decent time, but he was sixteen.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not like I could wrestle his devices off of him.\u2019 Rain battered the windows. Water dripped into the soup pot. Apparently the detective had decided to let her speak. \u2018Ben made comments sometimes about wanting a sports car, things like that. Typical teenage boy stuff, I thought. I didn\u2019t realise our like, follow, subscribe culture was bombarding him with what a \u201csuccessful man\u201d looks like, how \u201ceasy\u201d it supposedly is to get rich.<\/p>\n

How could he fall for this idea that he was undateable because he wasn\u2019t wealthy? Or that anyone with a job is a \u201cwage slave\u201d and therefore a loser? People who believe that will never be happy. Which is perfect \u2013 the more unhappy they are, the easier they are to manipulate.\u2019 Corinne wondered if Nazarian had any idea how hard this was for her. She\u2019d had two years of wakeful nights, trying to pinpoint where things had gone wrong. What she should have done differently.<\/p>\n

\u2018Ben asked in his journal if I wished he was like Tai,\u2019 Corinne said. \u2018I desperately want to go back in time and tell him, no, of course not. But it hurts to admit that I did wish teenage Ben was more like his younger self. I think that\u2019s what he was picking up on. I missed that little boy who was excited to make paper and talk to me at dinner.<\/p>\n

You know, the media did endless interviews with Ben\u2019s teachers and classmates, going back to his time at Emberly. Everyone described him as a clever, happy kid. There was nothing in his behaviour that indicated anything but a bright future.\u2019 Corinne couldn\u2019t believe how many people from Ben\u2019s life had clamoured to talk to the press.<\/p>\n
