Precarious although you have given us a better understanding of the character`s relationship with Dave you have also spoiled what I suspect was an incentive for us to get all the achievements and some people may not appreciate that.
adding on to the theory that Dave is a ghost\imaginary friend did anyone else notice how similar he and your character look. all you`d have to do is change his tie and make a slight hairstyle change and they`d look identical
