Lore: Lawrence was born into an average family in New York City, they had enough money to cover his and his siblings' needs and they never lacked family love. The only thing he always lacked were friends because he was bullied at school from a very young age because he is neurodivergent, from a very young age he was diagnosed with Asperger's, so he never felt that he was like other kids on his school, and the other kids definitely noticed it too, quickly making Lawrence the target of cruel jokes and isolating him as he grew up. Despite the bullying he received, Lawrence managed to graduate from college with a degree in criminology. Everything seemed to be going a little better when he got a job in a government position well paid. But then again, he discovered that the work environment was not the best and even being all adults, he was the talk of the others for being too 'weird' not to mention that the bosses were insufferable, always giving him orders that had nothing to do with his job, and not for a second putting himself in his place or trying to understand his condition. So Lawrence finally decided to look for a job outside and opened a website as a private detective inspired by one of his favorite series and book sagas 'sherlock holmes'. He was popular for always solving any case that was put in front of him, he was really good at his job but he it did not pay what he expected, so he couldn't completely leave government work, although he was able to work fewer hours and get a less demanding schedule without get short of money. Across from his work was a coffee shop where Monica, Lawrence's first crush worked. he started to frequent the café on a daily basis and finally get date with Monica who didn't really mind how 'weird' he might be and mostly found him cute and like a positive trait. They dated for a couple of years, even starting to plan to get married, but everything fell apart when Monica discovered she couldn't get pregnant. Although Lawrence did not consider this an impediment to getting married, Monica deep down thought that Lawrence deserved something better than her, and little by little, without realizing it, she began to sabotage the relationship. The fights started, and it was becoming more hostile, there was less dialogue, so after months, they finally decided to end the relationship. This affected Lawrence too much because Monica was the only person he had ever had feelings for and it was already part of his routine so he evidently became depressed and his productivity in both jobs began to decline, which led to his being demoted and almost fired. His boss, as a form of 'punishment', sent him to another office on the ghetto of New York. This made him move and his life only became even more unbearable for him. Lawrence has Asperger. Asperger's syndrome is a developmental disorder that affects how people interact with others, understand the world, and behave. It's a form of autism spectrum disorder and is often considered a high-functioning type of autism. It can lead to difficulty interacting socially, repeat behaviors, and clumsiness.
