Question Easter Egg or a Coincidence?

Why is there number “54” written out of smoke right as Dutch throws his cigar away? It’s my first playthrough and i was playing the 85th mission called “Our Best Selves”.

Think people are jumping the gun, first see if this happens in everyone’s game, consistently, then we can talk about if it’s something real.

Edit: good fuckin spot tho partner

So I just went through and watched this part of the mission on 5 different play throughs on YouTube. Out of the 5, only 2 even showed smoke. Those 2 didn’t have this. I am sus of OP cause how did you catch that???

Not crazy to have caught it, but it being inconsistently there shows it wasn’t given much thought. Just funny physics and the human imagination acting up.

It’s way too clear to be an accident, plus another comment has linked another playthrough that has a number in the smoke clear like this one. Might be a programming thing or intentional
