He's got a job that suits his talents, and he's doing WELL at it. He's not running out of money halfway through a month, and paying his bills. He's keeping TWO apartments clean enough for sudden guests (or even cleaner, when he's worried), taking care of his own physical needs, AND finding new outlets for his creative needs, his sexual needs, and more.

Look at where he was before the fight that landed him in prison, and the differences are astronomical. Look at the EMOTIONAL changes in him in the last year or year and a half and it's even MORE dramatic.
