The gangster obviously is connected to mcs beloved senior, in the couple of frames we do see of him, he has both the piercings and the dimples (and the piercings weren’t mentioned in the story) So will this be? the two of them experiencing this novel together after the both of them being in a coma from the accident. Or a parallel world after one (or both) of them died. If it’s the coma route it makes sense for his health to be shit, his actual physical form is dying so him in the story is feeling the affects.
