Long Way Down question

If Shawn were still alive, I think he would disapprove of Will's choice to follow "the rules" and seek revenge. Even though Shawn followed those same rules himself, I believe seeing the cycle continue through Will would make him realize how damaging it really is. As a big brother, his instinct would be to protect Will, not push him into the same life. Shawn’s role in the community may have been tough and influenced by violence, but deep down he probably wanted something better for Will. The way he appears silently in the elevator shows how much he’s reflecting on his past choices too. I think if he had the chance, he’d tell Will to break the cycle.
