Listening to the bad news before the good news helped dispel some of the terrible feelings brought about by the bad news, allowing one to feel some sense of comfort. But on the same note, the good news might become something that was not worth being so happy over.

"His Lordship, the director, is very pleased with you, Jason."
"Whether it was before or just now, he's satisfied with everything."

Bondy said as he took out 4 grams of gold and 6 grams of silver from his wallet.
