During their conversation, some rival thugs walk by and insult him and his music. Pathos then takes off after them to defend his honor. Niko then runs after Pathos into an alley across from Star Junction and kills the two hecklers. Pathos is so thankful for Niko's help that he promises to immortalise him in a song.
