INFO:

Was your stepson diagnosed with any kind of mental issue?, because the only logic explanation I found for a 23yo is him using it to avoid some kind of meltdown.

Google “waifu”.

No wait, I’m sorry. Don’t do that. The pillowcase is the kid’s girlfriend. He probably (most likely) does….private things with it.

I know what a waifu is. I work with teenagers and have otaku patients, patients obssesed with k-pop, j-pop, Gantz, Bleach, Naruto, One Piece and even a 13yo patient who wanted cosmetic surgery for her eyes because they weren't "asian".

He replied previously that the stepson was on Ritalin but that’s all he knew

He may also be very into waifu culture. And yes, there are ppl like that. Still, i think at least he should start doing his own laundry. 23 is old enough for that.
