This plot point still bothers me, so here’s my attempt at fixing it

Kinn: You’re asking me to send you to die?

Pete: I must go because I trust Porsche.

Kinn: If something goes wrong, the Main Family can’t come after you. Not without starting a war with the Minor Family. If you get caught, you’ll be on your own. Do you understand that?

Pete: If I’m not back by morning... forget about me.

*later, the scene after everything with Tawan and Vegas goes down, Kinn is smoking on the balcony when Porsche approaches him but make it happen during sunrise*

Porsche: What’s with you?

Kinn, staring into the distance with a look of resignation: Just... forgetting something.

ALL THEY HAD TO DO was make it clear that the Main family wouldn’t be able to get involved if Pete got caught (because mafia politics or whatever) and that when Pete doesn’t return, he is assumed to be dead.

It would have reinforced Kinn’s characterization of actually caring about the people who work for him, saved Kinn from looking like a total moron who just forgot his own undercover agent, and given Pete some autonomy in his own fate. Pete would get permission to act on his own so that the main family could maintain plausible deniability should he fail.

AND it still would’ve been a tongue-and-cheek reference to what happens in the novel with a heartbreaking twist! Kinn wouldn’t forget about Pete, he would assume Pete was dead and —as Pete asked him to— keep moving forward without him.

One of my favorite quotes is “everything in life is about sex, except sex. Sex is about power.” Misattributed to Oscar Wilde.

Vegas absolutely understands this idea. When he tells Pete, “A guy like you, it’s no  fun if you don’t give in” It’s not about consent at all, it’s about power and manipulation. We already know that Vegas is willing to engage in some level of SA because we saw it on-screen, with Porsche, so it’s a bullshit idea that consent is that important to him. 

In Pete’s case, though, there’s no power in him raping Pete. He already has him held hostage, under his control. There’s a chance Pete wouldn’t even fight back, just considering it another form of torture. 

No, Vegas feels vulnerable and angry and that won’t do. He tries to get Pete to back off, with aggression — “You think it serves me right, huh?” and instead, Pete offers him sympathy and understanding. So Vegas defaults to what he does best  — manipulation  — to regain a feeling of power. You can see the change here, from the “real Vegas” he’s been showing Pete, to the fake one.

He manipulates Pete, first by saying that Pete likes him moody and angry. By implying his behavior turns Pete on, it takes the weakness out of his actions. Then he manipulates him by giving him a choice. If he can get Pete aroused and thinking about sex with Vegas of his own free will, he gets the ultimate power rush. Lusting after Vegas is a betrayal of Pete’s commitment to the major family in a way that Pete eating and even Pete staying by his side when Khun Spikes dies is not. Eating is for survival and compassion is for the other person.

I think he was genuinely surprised when Pete kissed him though. He’s gotten what he wanted. He feels like he has the upper hand back and he can leave cock of the walk once more. He underestimates and misunderstands Pete every step of the way — because he’s not used to dealing with people who aren’t playing a game at all times — and this is a perfect example. He tells Pete not to hold it in, and he doesn’t. 

There’s no advantage to Pete choosing Vegas in this, unlike Tawan, or Ken, who are at least partially looking out for themselves when they betray Kinn. Choosing to have sex with Vegas was solely for Pete. That was Vegas, owning Pete’s desire. That was Pete’s desire for Vegas being more important than anything else.

By making Pete choose him though, Vegas gets caught up in his own snare. For maybe the first time in his entire life, Vegas isn’t second, isn’t also a means to an end. And when Pete gives in, it’s not tentative, not hesitant, not holding back something to have an ace in the hole. Pete offers him everything, and that feeling consumes him as well as Pete. And that’s how Vegas, despite his manipulations, gets captured by the game.

I like the idea of Big as a sacrifice—willing or not. Although animals given in sacrifice don't have a choice, Big chooses to put himself in the way of a bullet meant for Porsche. It is some of the only agency he has.

In the story, he attempts to change his circumstances, to stop events from unfolding in the way they do, but he has so little power that he is unable to stop the inevitable. He must follow the orders given to him by the Theerapanyakul family (and even Tawan, when Kinn insists) even if he disagrees with them. He attempts to warn them that Tawan is not trustworthy, but is disregarded. The way Big struggles to stop the incoming tragedy—and is unable to—is haunting, to me. I don't think he is doomed by the narrative in the traditional sense, but I do think the story insists on blood, on a death that has some emotional impact (whether that is lasting for the characters in-universe, or the dead ever get mentioned again… well, don't worry about it). Someone has to die, and because Porsche cannot die, someone else who loves Kinn must die in his stead. Big makes that choice, substitutes himself for Porsche, and becomes the sacrifice.

Because of this choice, Kinn will get to live on with Porsche, even if he's still trapped into a role he does not enjoy but feels obligated to play. Vegas will nearly die trying (and failing) to become the person his father wants, to earn respect and love that he will never get from him. And Big will die for Kinn, who will never see him or care about him the way Big wants him to.

The question here, and at the end of the story is, 'Was it worth it?'
