So /v/, were you a snake like the rest of them?

I can never kill Dwayne

I killed him once just to see what would happen.

Something that I found really interesting about Dwayne was this little story:

>Shit's on the up, I hope. Although as soon as I say that I begin to worry. I remember my dad used to always say, "Expect the worst, then you can only be pleasantly surprised." He'd say that, then he'd hit me.
>He doesn't sound like a nice man.
>Guy was a fucking fool. He got his, though. He tried to rip off some local dealers. I remember the night they killed him. There was a knock at the door. My mom cried, but I don't think she meant it. I hope she didn't. You know what I felt?
>No.
>I felt nothing man. Nothing. Not happy, not sad. Just nothing. My pop's dead, and I didn't feel a damn thing. Shit is fucked up.

I love how in retrospect, that little story has quite a bit in common thematically with Niko's own revenge story; how it's entirely possible to still feel like a husk of a person even after the ghosts haunting you all your life have finally been dealt with: Dwayne with his abusive father and Niko with Darko Brevic. I like to think that in one playthrough, Niko heard this story before he was given the choice to kill or spare Darko in "That Special Someone," and that it added another layer of complexity to the decision. If even the destruction of one's personal demons wasn't able to help his friend Dwayne in the end, would such an action really result in something different for Niko?
