He reminds me of the character in the Twilight Zone episode “Time Enough At Last” https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oLoNGRVeC7Y https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oLoNGRVeC7Y Burgess Meredith is a bookworm and is bothered by everyone (including his wife) interrupting his reading. After a nuclear detonation, he seems to be the only one who survived because he was hiding in a basement, reading, during the explosions. After discovering the devastation and his aloneness, he is about to kill himself when he notices the ruins of the Public Library. This is his best possible outcome: lifetimes of books to read and no one to interrupt him while doing it. He is overwhelmed with joy. But I won’t give away the ending.
