Not worth the loss.
Capote is keenly aware of the news value, foresees his own success, and also keenly feels the similar situation, struggles and desires in his heart that Perry is in. While subconsciously projecting himself onto him to create a connection, he ruthlessly pulled away from the front consciousness and let himself extract all the value from him. In the end, he stopped subsidizing their lawyers in order to hasten their deaths, and with such an ending that he hoped and expected, in exchange for his earth-shattering, high-profile, fame and fortune.
After all, wealth and fame cannot resist the torture of the soul.
Not worth the loss.
Capote must have regretted seeing Perry at the end and not having a last sincere confession with him. When he saw the little portrait of himself drawn by Perry, how did he feel when he knew that Perry had already seen it through at that time? Those half-true tears at that time finally turned into tons of alcohol, and finally annihilated themselves.
