I live in the American πΊπΈ Gardensπͺ΄ Building π’ on West 81st Street π£ on the 11th floor. My name π³ is Patrick Bateman.π§π»ββοΈ Iβm 27 years old. I believe π in taking care of myself π§Όπ, and a balanced βοΈ diet ππ₯¬ and a rigorous π€ exercise routine πββοΈπ¨. In the morning π , if my face π§π»ββοΈ is a little puffyπ³, Iβll put on an ice π§ pack while doing my stomach π crunches. I can ππ do a thousand now π€π€π€. After I remove π§» the ice pack π§ I use a deep π³ pore cleanser πΆβπ«οΈ lotionπ§΄. In the shower πΏ I use a water π¦ activated gel cleanser π§Ό, then a honey π― almond π₯ bodyπ§π»π§½scrub, and on the face an exfoliating π€€ gel ππ» scrub. Then I apply π an herb-mint ππ₯¬ facial masque π· which I leave on for 10 minutes β± while I prepare πͺ the rest of my routine. I always β use an after shave lotion π§΄ with littleπ»or no β alcohol π₯, because alcohol πΎ dries βοΈ your face out π€― and makes you look older π΄π». Then moisturizer π§΄, then an anti-aging π΄π»β eye π balm followed πΆπ»by a final moisturizing π§½ protective π π»ββοΈ lotionπ§΄. There is an idea π‘of a Patrick Batemanππ»ββοΈ . Some kind of abstraction π΅βπ«. But there is no β real me. Only an entity π». Something illusory π§. And though I can hide π my cold gazeπ₯Ά , and you can shake my hand π€ and feel flesh π₯©gripping yours π§, and maybe π€ you can even sense πour lifestyles π΅β°πͺ are probably comparable π€·π»ββοΈ, I simply am not β there.
