Can Michael Meet Trevor Before He Is Introduced

Okay, let's talk Grand Theft Auto V. We all love it. But something's bugged me since 2013.

Could Michael have met Trevor *before* that fateful Blaine County reunion? I know, I know, it's practically gaming heresy. But hear me out!

The Official Story: A Blast From The Past

The game tells us Michael and Trevor were thick as thieves. They pulled off heists. They considered each other brothers. Then it happened. The North Yankton job. Michael "died," Trevor ran, and that was that. Or so we thought.

Ten years later, Trevor stumbles upon Michael's "death" on TV. Cue explosion of rage and a whole lotta trouble. It's dramatic, I'll give them that.

My Unpopular Opinion: What If...?

But what if there was a *slightly* different timeline? What if Michael and Trevor crossed paths *before* Trevor recognized him on the news?

Think about it. Los Santos is huge. But it's also a small world, right? Especially in the criminal underworld.

The Possibilities Are Endless

Michael, living his boring-rich-guy life. Trevor, causing chaos in Blaine County. They're bound to end up in Los Santos eventually. Right?

Maybe Michael needed some… muscle. Maybe Trevor needed a quick score. A one-off job, no names, just business. A brief encounter in a dark alley?

Imagine Michael hiring Trevor for a particularly messy task. He would want to outsource the unpleasantness of getting his hands dirty, right?

Or picture this: Trevor trying to sell some "acquired" goods at a high-end party. He might bump into Michael, looking bored and detached. A fleeting moment, easily dismissed.

Why It Could Work

Michael is all about image. He's trying to bury his past. If he saw Trevor, he'd probably try to avoid him like the plague. He could easily just feign ignorance.

And Trevor? Well, he's not exactly known for his attention to detail. Especially if he's, shall we say, *indisposed*. He might just see a vaguely familiar face. Nothing to write home about.

"Hey, haven't I seen you somewhere before?"

Could you imagine Trevor casually asking that to Michael? Michael would just smirk and reply sarcastically.

The Impact on the Story

Would this change the main story? Not really. It would add a layer of tension. A subtle undercurrent of unease. A hidden connection.

It would make Trevor's eventual "discovery" even more explosive. The "Oh, it's YOU!" moment would be epic. Think about the possibilities!

Maybe that initial spark of recognition already existed unconsciously. They didn't know where they saw each other, but something felt familiar. Maybe they have subconsciously been looking for each other.
