I think this scene gets a lot more context towards the end.

we know pete has been serving the main family for a while and since he is only a bodyguard he doesn't have much say in what he wants or doesn't.

initially I thought it was very uncharacteristic of him >>

to give up his position in the main family once shit hits the fan and gun dies. but now that I'm watching this scene again, I think it reflects well into how Pete sees himself as nothing but a tool in their schemes.

“i don't even have my humanity” goes to show how he >>

probably never wanted to get into the mafia buisness in the first place and be forced to kill people, or worse, get captured during a mission and have and enjoy sex with the enemy. I think there's a lot of guilt packed in there.

>>

this scene where he says “i never exist” says how much autonomy he lacks, both in respect to the boxing his father forced him into and also I think joining the mafia (since we don't know the full background).

I think it's fitting that in the end when he gives up his position >>

it is probably the only thing he has willingly done for himself without there being some underlying scheming or manipulation from others.
