Tommy thinks he’s a hippie bitch, and like all psychotic hippies, likely believes that he is clairvoyant to some extent. If Tom ever comes to realize that all he has done with his life is stain the earth, it might actually kill him. His current motivation(s) in life are his own illusions of grandeur, take those away and you’re left with a husk.What if Thomas had enough self-awareness to make his mea culpa and admit his failings as a human?
Tom reminds me so much of Chris in this regard. If you managed to extract him from his headspace (ass), there would be nothing there.
