Warning: unmarked spoiled ahead
- When William dons the alias Dave Miller, he gets a makeover to match. One factor of this makeover is having one ear pierced, specifically his right ear. This might strike fans as odd at first, as a man’s right ear being pierced is meant to signal to others that he’s gay, and William is confirmed to be the only heterosexual character
.note But when you remember that the one who gave William the makeover was Vincent, who is gay, that makes a lot more sense. - In the character QNA, William claims that he and Vincent grew up in an orphanage, and were stuck there until they aged out because the orphanage had a policy of adopting siblings together, and nobody wanted to adopt Vincent because he was a problem child. While this tracks with Vicent’s original characterization, that version of him has now been retconned, and he does not seem like the problem child type in the slightest. It’s possible William is just an unreliable narrator, but the wiki backs this up. So what gives? Vincent is canonically autistic. Autistic children are often deemed problem children when they’re not trying to do anything wrong due to people not understanding their behavior—they’re seen as intentionally rude and misbehaving when they aren’t trying to be, and just naturally act like that.
