We have to love, society tell us that. But if life makes no sense at all, why sould we care about it? Life is all about living the absurd.
I have doubts in the part of the serial killer. Maybe, as Jim is a clear nihilist, is a metaphore of death, the only thing that will happen for sure in our lives.
