You make it sound like he arsoned his house because Sonichu said so when it was an electrical accident catalyzed by his mom being a dumbass hoarder. And when it happened, he actually did put some of the lunacy aside to rebuild his life, including spending some of his money on a new bed so he wouldn't have to spoon with Snorlax. Chris's issue is he's lazy and prefers the comfort of his delusions, but when the real world intrudes he does sober up a bit. When the next house fire happens and I see video of Chris summoning Bubbles to douse the flames then I'll be convinced he's off the deep end.
