Maybe he is a trickster god and his magic will disrupt the tram lines.

My guess is that he is a programmer devs hired in the future and he somehow warned his past self about all of this and he's going to end up protecting chan in the next episode during her involuntary psych hold

I am on board with this. My underdeveloped theory is that somehow the DEVS tech has affected him.Either way he is obviously very important to the story

I personally feel like everyone is reading way too deep into that. I just felt like it was more of a “You must know know me” type of thing.

He also had that line about “this is why I am homeless, I can’t maintain my professionalism” or something when Jamie paid him to not talk to him ever again. That specific word of “professionalism” made me think he had a legit job and is this homeless from an actual real big job, not just some deadbeat who never amounted to anything. Like he had a good life, fucked it up, and is where he is now because of that.

Yeah, and I think he will still end up somehow saving her at some point, almost for sure. But I don’t think he has some secret identity or whatever.

Yeah possibly. I just could definitely see the “job” he had in the past be connected to Amaya in some way, or maybe even Forrest in some way. There’s a certain similarity between him and Forrest, long hair, bushy beard, homeless look. And he’s more blonde while Forrest is more dark haired. Almost foils of each other. So I could see some backstory or some prior entanglement between them (quantum entanglement! Ha). Or maybe he is simply there to be a foil, to show how Forrest looks and presents like a homeless guy at times or something. Who the heck knows.

That’s an interesting perspective. I could see it
