What was the meaning of the opening scene?


Was there some kind of symbolism behind Will killing the coyote? (Or putting it out of its misery?) I don't see it having any bearing on the events at the party - his disorientation, discomfort, and later panic trying to save himself and his girlfriend. Was it supposed to give some insight into his character?

Really great points guys 👍

If we leave the symbolism aside, this scene serve the plot by mislead the viewer and make him think that Will is the crazy one.
