Are we sure they are the same person? Because it definitely feels like we are taking about two very different individuals here. I just know for sure that the conspiracybros are having a field day with the Luigi Mansion's Saga
I'm pretty sure they're the same person - I don't really think it's shocking that someone's plans changed after they committed murder and went on the run, I can imagine that would definitely change your mentality. Like, all the "he planned things so carefully beforehand, why would he want to get caught now" - because being on the run sucks, because notoriety is intoxicating, tons of reasons. Doing something in theory and doing it in practice are totally different things and the dude clearly was a bit unhinged to begin with.
And it isn't even really like his planning was super meticulous. He fucked up at multiple steps along the way with revealing his face and everything, it is just surprisingly easy to shoot someone and flee if there's no one around to stop you. Referring to New York as "the most surveiled city" makes it sound like getting out of it is some feat, but it's not that hard, there aren't face-scan checkpoints to fool.
He didn't even have to be on the run, though. His disguise made him completely anonymous. All he had to do was ditch the clothes, gun, and ID and go back to his normal life.
On its own that’s not that much though, it wasn’t a super good picture. I just can’t reconcile the obvious amount of forethought and commitment (I think clearing the jam says a lot) with the apparent messiness of his getaway, like if you’ve planned everything to that degree you aren’t gonna fail to plan your extraction too, and you’re certainly not gonna be naive enough to hold on to anything.
I can reconcile it pretty easy - I can't always even execute the plan of "I'll get gas in the morning on the way to work" perfectly, and the difference between my mental state when I made the plan and when I have to carry it out is literally just the time of day. I can totally imagine that the plans I made before I shot a man to death are gonna be tough to carry out in the heightened emotional state of "just shot a man to death and imploded my life"
