Dewicked trope


* AdultFear: Do you know who your child's teachers are? Do you trust the person giving you a lift in their car? Can you believe the police officer stopping you in the park at night?

** It's made painfully clear that Meglin considers himself NotSoDifferent from those he pursues. It is why he is so torn up about [[MyGreatestFailure what happened to Olya]] and so proud-yet-harsh on his "graduates" - he knows they don't kill, but he also knows how easy it is to slip off the wagon.

* NotSoDifferent: Why Meglin agreed to mentor Yesenya.
** The 'Mastermind' has this as an endgame purpose: he wants Meglin to join him as a partner in crime, and engineers crimes and provokes criminals to elicit a specific reaction from him, ComicBook/TheKillingJoke style. [[spoiler: When Meglin dies, he moves on to Yesenya]].
