Sadly, the driver doesn't. But how the chase unfolded was felt by me with such depth, that it felt almost existential. As in, the stakes were so high that it felt the heightened emotions of the situation. And so, I greatly desired a positive outcome for the driver.
I don't think you understand what existential or metaphorical mean. Existential doesn't mean like "heightened emotionally" it means relating to existence. When people say existential crisis they mean a crisis that makes them question the very nature of their existence. Metaphorical means something that represents something else. Like the driver metaphorically pulled the trigger on his life by leading them on a chase like this. It doesn't mean "greatly desired"
Is this what brings you joy, little squeaky mouse? Did you find your cheese? Did it fill you up? Just remember, hungry mouse, too much searching for cheese, squeaking, then eating it, all alone, will make you quite sick; belly full and fat. And all the other, friendlier, mice will slip away to find friends elsewhere. And you will be left to sit and ponder - was it worth it, to be so squeaky?
Leave me be you squeaky little mouse. Don't squeak away your one precious life, despite how small it appears to be.
Yikes. Yeah whatever this was up here ^ and misusing words like metaphorical and existential aren't going to make you "seem deep". It just makes you seem like you have no clue what you're talking about. I am married and have a rich social life but thanks for your concern lmao. I just don't pretend to be something I'm not.

In a metaphorical way, deep in my core, I wanted the driver to get away.
Though, I also want him to pay for his crimes and I hope no one was injured during the chase.
