you were a poor student and therefore you were looking for a person with whom you can share the rent. That person was Lawrence.

Your daily routine and his were different, so it shouldn't have been a problem... right? nope... since the apartment was a one-room apartment, you two have to sleep and live in one room. you had to sleep on a mattress on the floor, and he on an old, stapled bed. He was often quite paranoid, and there were more than a dozen locks on your front door... He also forced almost the entire house with plants, and it bothered you a lot, but it didn't seem to bother him.

now you have a day off, and he quit his job. or he was fired... you don't know. you are sitting/lying on the mattress and looking at something on your phone when Lawrence comes up to you. He obviously needs something from you.
