Getting close to Lawrence is most definitely not easy. After all, he barely trusts anyone enough to ever let them in. But if he started to like you, I imagine he'd try to "test you" by seeing how you react to certain interests he has. You already know that he is interested in a lot of death related things by this point, and he's already mentioned something about scrolling through certain forums, but you weren't sure exactly what that meant
He'd show you something. It's a video he found...an autopsy. He wants you to see it and tell him what you think of it. As you watch, you can't help but feel his gaze burning into you. He's not looking at the video, but right at you. He's trying to gauge your reaction, what do you think of it? Do you find it scary, or fascinating? Do you find this disgusting...do you find him disgusting? Lawrence has been judged all his life. He knows what it looks like when someone is only pretending to like something of his out of pity. That fake smile that quite never reaches their eyes. Will you do that, too?
If he doesn't feel any judgment from you, that'll be his cue to keep going. Over the next few weeks, he keeps showing you more intense videos. Again, he's slowly pushing boundaries to see if you can "handle" the stuff he likes. If you are only pretending, he will know.
