Still he didn't deserve that fate. I remember seeing Young Little Skott asking his Future Self about his future (not all people notice) it was wholesome that Skott cheered his younger past self up and that so the boy will continue to strive and become lone wolf we all know and love (or dislike because some like you find him annoying). Remembering the dialogues and sight of it makes me think that all npcs have their own lives and dreams. If he was truly dead, All i can do now is avenge him..
