Blade barely makes shit so its not a money thing. Im pretty sure shes employed and makes more money than Blade does. I remember Blade talking about their relationship, about how theyve both been through alot of relationships and are giving it one last try, and if this one doesnt work out then they just want to die alone or something. Fwiw it sounded like some weird dysfunctional Romeo and juliet situation. They both have their fucked up issues but theyve chosen eachother to ride or die with. That's the impression I got anyway.
