If there is a nightmare scenario for Elliot, it's a place like this. Tech is his best friend. Tech is his crutch. Tech keeps him at an arm's length from most people in his life. That's for the best, for all involved, he thinks. After actually succeeding in fsociety's plan, after everything going to sh*t, he though going away would be good. Would be ...
Somehow, he's not surprised that he ends up in the worst place he possibly could. He listened to the "welcome" video, see. He replays it in his head, but he doesn't argue.
He keeps his ME card stored away after doing all he can to demagnetize it. (He won't be traced, especially when things start going haywire.) If he can't deactivate it, he'll do his best to reprogram it; it will keep him up at night. It isn't as if he sleeps. The drugs?
The drugs he keeps nearby. He doesn't take them, but he wants to, even if he isn't sure what they do.
He wants to.
Sometimes, he expects to see Mr. Robot. It's only a matter of time, isn't it?
He tries to take the PDC apart; If he can take it apart, he will try to hack it, noticing the misfires, noticing that something is f*cked up, noticing the freakazoid robot-pets are f*cking up, too. He keeps his head down and he dismantles his cleaner-bot too. He walks around with his head down, shoulders pulled up by his ears. He listens, he watches, but he rarely interacts unless someone comes up to him first. Anxiety, introversion, failing tech.
It looks like fsociety has already reached this place and Elliot didn't have anything to do with it.
