I think Anon is selling himself short. Basically, the coworker who gave the lighter would have thought, ”Man, Anon might appreciate this lighter” and kept it around until he had a chance to give it to Anon. At least that’s what I think. Anon is definitely not an NPC.
Just think, maybe all the "Collect X for Y" npcs in games had hopes, goals and dreams as well! Did you even ask them?
It depends what Anon does for the player. NPCs are grubby little shits, always wanting something, but always eventually paying out. If Anon is a virgin, then the price might have already been paid.
Ops coworker completed a side quest
He hasn't, there are still 99 left to complete that quest.
We need to find out this guy's coworker's name, because he's the main character
