i think that his betrayal came mostly from his lover. his friend fell in love with her and took her a way and i think that the gunshot is a metaphor like her leaving with his best friend felt like he had just taken a bullet and his friend taking her away from him felt like his death, but in the end he wouldn't let either of them win because he just allowed himself to go numb so he wouldn't feel the pain. i also think that the wallet might symbolize something perhaps his heart that she left with his heart still belonging to her.
