Sweet is what you call a uh, a sucka.

He's a true believer, a fool, who is dedicated to a whole bunch of rhetoric that objectively is not true, does not function in reality the way he believes it should.

He should know that literally nobody else goes by his code of conduct and honor anywhere near as strictly as he does, because he has repeated, first hand experience with that, but he doesn't learn, because he is so broken as a person from all the horrible shit that has happened to people he genuinely cares about, that this code is really all that remains as the basis of his identity.

He is a broken, angry, incompetent man who was sold a lie, and that lie is all he has left.

He is a tragic character, traumatized as fuck.
