And if someone wanted to come in later on as the PC? Then he could also have had the change of heart, which might make an interesting pre-made dynamic in each of them expecting the absolute worst of each other and knowing they completely deserve the notion? Or maybe that's a little involved?Another option, if the game goes on for a while without anyone popping in and saying "Gosh, I want to play Summer's brother, a lot!" is that Red could have known Summer's brother - and had him killed as part of his previously official duties. In that case Summer's rescue would be part of his 12 step Villain reformation program: "Owning up to the consequences of your actions." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
