regarding Danny trying to make Dwight his ghostface accomplice, which do you think is better.
1 - Dwight despite being a murderer is still an awkward guy.
2 - Dwight is more unhinged than Danny.
sorry for the delay in reply!! I really wanted to take some time to ruminate on this question <3
I wouldn't say one is better than the other, but I feel like there's a realistic outcome from Danny trying to make Dwight his accomplice...
the problem is Dwight's empathy and sense of justice, I don't think he would be capable of becoming a killer without a heavy outside influence
If Danny could capitalise on his need to be accepted, to be loved, on that low self-esteem after years of ostracization and feeling out of place... then I feel like Dwight could be manipulated enough to slowly but surely take part or assist in the designs
potentially Danny's delusions could be transferred onto Dwight (Folie a deux) through being socially isolated together, Dwight becoming dependent on Danny-> Danny would have to ensure Dwight had no support structure, and was completely infatuated with him before pushing the boundaries of what the latter man would find acceptable
As for Dwight's style? I struggle to see him to being anything but slightly awkward, he's the Ghostface that trips into things, that isn't the most physically overpowering or smooth... but just by being there as a backup, could make things interesting during hunts
Danny is meticulous, every move planned and carefully designed, physically fast and strong, manipulative and charismatic. Whereas Dwight would be more manic, tapping into the fight or flight instincts, more unpredictable, with a obsession to seek approval from Danny
Each kill would destroy Dwight's mental health and sanity for certain, and I could see that becoming a descent into true madness, a sense of no going back.
Danny would target those Dwight could justify killing, but even those boundaries would be pushed until Dwight felt like he didn't have a choice, either he would lose Danny and have to face the consequences of their crimes, or continue killing for the sake of their twisted bond
Glass crunched loudly underfoot, Dwight flinching violently back. The sound made him pause for a moment, terrified that the spectre he was following stupidly, would turn around at the sound. His breathing was haggard, and felt far too loud in the stilted air of the alleyway.
"What am I doing? This is insanity…"

Chapter Summary
Dwight reached the front doors, and anxiety kicked into overdrive. He wouldn’t even know who to look for, as Daniel had no pictures on his profile. Knowing Dwight’s luck it would all be some sick joke.
He couldn’t bring himself to pass the threshold of the doors, scared the truth would be worse than his tentative hopes–
