I'm rewatching the trilogy while recovering from surgery and particularly interested in the conversation in which Nick confides in Ziggy about the "huge burden" getting dropped on him and the statement of "what if that's not who I want to be?" What do you think would be the alternative timeline of events if he'd admitted about writing down Tommy's name, possibly even asked for help mitigating or reversing things? (If anyone knows of any fanfics out there on AO3 or wherever regarding this comcept, I'll happily take the recommendations!)

Also, did we ever find out how his father died? His father seems to have presumably died rather young, if he had teenage kids, couldn't have been any older than middle aged.
