Narcissists do this thing - I don't know if there's a psychological term for it so I'll call it "planning the story out". Normal people go "I'll apply for this job, maybe I'll get it". Narcissists go "I'll apply for this job, get it, get rapidly promoted, become President, start my own company in the same field, grow it and become a billionaire".
I think that's the only reason he's with Niki in the first place - normal people can have one-night stands and forget about them the next day. Rick, fresh off Ade being so so cruel to him, picks up drunk Niki at a bar and hooks up with her, but then in the coming days when he starts to get horny again he plans that story out. Rick & Nik will get married, be in love, cook food together, travel the world, she'll playfully banter but always be supportive, and she's clearly into having sex so they'll have sex all the time! Standing in line to get that autographed book, oh the fantasies he had about his "Perfect" Niki. Sleep on the couch stupid, the first girl you fucked after Ade doesn't want you in the bed with her.
Of course, this applies to the lawsuit. Normal people go into any trial hoping the verdict goes their way but understanding it might not. But Patrick's already won this case, in his big smart brain. All the John Does identified, all of them sued for every last penny in their bank accounts, then promptly thrown in prison for life. But before we all get hauled off to jail Patrick gets to stand in the middle of the courtroom and get the last word as he delivers a victim's statement full of gloating and insults.
That's how this ends, stlaker. Not with a quash because Rodney Mayr could not satisfy Krinsky by finding a nonexistent post from Quasi. But by Patrick winning everything and then getting his blue checkmark back.
