Someone probably already posted this, but I'm way too lazy to go back and check.

I noticed a parallel between the musician's story and Dean. The story is about this woman who shoots her husband who forgives her and bails her out, which ultimately turns out to be a fatal mistake for the husband as the woman ends up killing her husband. It's the same with Dean. People forgive him just to be "shot again" but more symbolically than anything. Perhaps this is all bs, hope not though!

Edit: So I decided to take the time and effort to flip through the last few pages and there's my boy Danny calling it out. Yeah, so I agree with Dan. That's it.
