It wouldn't have taken much for his life to go very differently; a small nudge in one direction, a slightly less positive decision, a choice to act on an impulse instead of swallowing it down.

He sometimes wonders, when he sees another rich asshole walk away without a care in the world, why he shouldn't just do it himself, just use his skills in a different way, and take the wealth and power they all seem to have.

And then he glances at his partners, the two best things to ever happen to him, his compass for what is right and wrong, and he knows that they'd never forgive him if that happened... and that's enough to still his mind for another short while.
