In the first episode of the series, your character is crying. He's weeping in his car before going into the office. And at first, we don't know what's causing him that grief. But we do find out as the episodes go on that his wife was killed in a car accident. The show's also about how a person deals with grief.
And at one point, it comes out that when your character's wife died, Mark first tries to go back to work as a professor. after three weeks and he couldn't do it. And that's part of the reason why he chose to work at this company and get the severance procedure done. I recently lost my father and I had to make that calculation.

Thanks. But it's a calculation that so many people have to make. And it was the three weeks thing, because I think that maybe that's maybe what people think is the right amount of weeks, but how much time it takes and when it's time to focus back on work or on something else. And if this is too personal, just let me know.

I read that you lost your mother shortly before the pandemic, before filming Severance, and I don't know. It's, you know, this show kind of deals with the idea of the proper amount of time or the proper way to deal with grief.
