2. Girlfriend Gerri is an actress who has not found a job for a long time and died in a car accident
3. There is an image of a homeless migg that is drawn by the hero
Let me tell you my guess
The time of his girlfriend's death in a car accident should have been before the beginning of the story, Tom didn't accept this fact, so he imagined that his girlfriend was still by his side
About the homeless migg, I think he just saw that the male protagonist was in a trance after losing his girlfriend, and he stared at him and wanted to replace his life because a normal person would never invite strangers to drink at home. He should have been aware that Tom fantasized about his girlfriend all the time. still
Everything after that is Migg's invasion of Tom's life. The girlfriend in the fantasy represents hope and always wants to pull Tom out of the chaotic life. Migg represents the reality. In the fight against fantasy, tom chooses to protect fantasy and kill reality and he thinks migg is his fantasy
