![]() Despite Will’s firm belief that Riggs killed Shawn, there’s little hard evidence for this-the ghost of Frick (the man who, in theory, Riggs avenged by killing Shawn) doesn’t recognize Riggs’s description. The Penny Drop was something that made Will feel connected to both Shawn and to Riggs, which now makes the prospect of killing Riggs somewhat more difficult for Will. Riggs’s gymnastics background allowed him to teach Shawn how to do a Penny Drop, a flip off of a monkey bar. His mom made him take gymnastics as a kid, which Will insists is why Riggs became so violent and got involved with gangs as an adult-wearing tights and doing cartwheels meant Riggs needed to defend himself for being unmanly according to the neighborhood’s standards. Will says that when Riggs was young, he was “as soft as his first name,” but also a loudmouth. Will believes this because Riggs recently moved and joined a rival gang, the Dark Suns, and Shawn was killed in Dark Suns territory while on an errand to buy his mother special soap for her eczema. Shawn’s former friend, who Will thinks murdered Shawn. ![]()
