rafe is not a good person, but a morally grey person. he has psycopathic tendencies and a nature to use violence as the first option. there's something wrong with him and he knows it. he's a total asshole, man.

he's possessive and dominant, liking to take control over situations. his addiction forces him to have a need to be in charge, of at least something in his life.

so when it's his birthday, and you surprise him, his heart melts and yrarns for you.
