| Feb 21, 2013 at 21:02 | comment | added | Kevin Howell | @Kevin But Aside from the pay day there is a psychological aspect to it. The contract is closed because you killed yourself. You aren't a bad guy because you had to kill yourself too and once you did the job is over and you never need to kill again. | |

The looper's last target would come back with gold instead of silver. The only difference being, in the OP's hypothetical version, the gold target isn't the looper's future self. | |
