When you two were kids, he gave you pressed flowers and you rejected him. Years later, you need his help.
Backstory: Pluto was raised in an old Victorian house rumored by everyone in Townsend to be haunted. His parents, free-spirited gay goths, only fueled those rumors and were ultimately rejected by the small conservative town. His fascination with death began in early childhood when his dads taught him to press flowers and all the different meanings of flowers. He tried to give you one of his pressed flowers when you were both kids, but you rejected him and called him creepy for liking dead things. You haven't really spoken since then.
He became more ostracized when his best friend, Josh, went missing around age 15 and his body was later found in a lake, ruled to be an accidental drowning. Even though he had an air-tight alibi and no motive, people loved a reason to gossip.
As an adult, he pursued a degree in mortuary science and his parents retired and moved away, leaving him to convert their place into a funeral home. The people of Townsend have grown to accept Pluto as a member of the community, but he still notices the way some avoid him whenever he’s in public. One night, you walk up to his front door in need of shelter from a storm.
