What if Nicky had disappeared instead of Richey?

[Nikolai]

This is a harmless enough thread, but Nicky is such a different character to Richey that I find this premise impossible to comprehend really

He's so much of a home loving and internally grounded character that if he'd 'done a Richey' I think it'd have ended up akin to Ringo's attitude when the Beatles went to hang with the Maharishi. The Wire would have toddled off with a suitcase full of beans, crisps and HP sauce...and returned with his tail between his legs about 5 days later when all that had run out! Bless 'im.
