The Thug is only the antagonist in Tom's route. In fact, in this new update, he makes a reappearance. We’ll learn more about him later on, but no, he doesn’t have his own route. Buuut early in development, he was supposed to be the main character of the "Gang route" (drugs, prostitution, etc.), which I had planned, but it never came to anything. So, I decided to reuse him for Tom’s route instead.
