I also have no explanation for Leon and his book, or whether or not he actually existed. I also think she definitely dies at the end, or at least goes into a permanent coma (which is essentially the same thing given the most-likely-fatal experiments to follow), the scene of flying away with everyone simply being her final dream/hallucination before being experimented on by Oswald. He then straps Deern into the chair, because at this point he probably knows too much and will likely have to be dealt with (ironically, the drugs Fran uses in an attempt at waking him actually wind up saving his life by making him pass out and think it was just a dream, if the dialogue is any indication). Deern and begins to choke Fran until she falls unconscious, ultimately taking them both back to the asylum. Very specific events in the last couple of chapters I'm pretty much convinced of (for whatever reason): Remor (the guard) shows up at the cemetary, knocks out Dr. Admittedly, I'm unsure if Fran or the guard was the one that actually killed her parents, if it was the former there was some specific trigger programmed into her during her visit/stay in her early years, it's also possible she has split personality disorder and that's what caused it.īy the final chapter, she's taken so many pills that she can not tell the difference between reality and the hallucinations whatsoever and things appear to literally be falling apart as a result. The experiments presumably started many years before the game did, and her parents finally caught on (or refused to let them continue, or possibly even start with Fran) and had to be dealt with one way or another. Perhaps the 'traitor' everyone keeps mentioning), while Mabuka is likely Oswald's. I'm also fairly certain that Remor is just a manifestation of the security guard's subconscious (though I have no idea what stopped him at the asylum door, or why.

There's likely some link to objects or other people that does not require they even still be there (the twins for instance), though I believe the majority of what she sees is simply a hallucination (The flying machine is literally just her riding a bicycle through the forest, which can be seen destroyed at the beginning of the next chapter, the flying machine 'crash' likely being due to not having working brakes, this was a major clue that the vast majority of what's going on is simply a series of hallucinations for me).

It's pretty clear Fran can see manifestations of peoples' subconscious very early on with the assistance of the drugs, and is made even more obvious later in the car with Dr. One side effect being terrible, vivid hallucinations.

The medication likely activates or enhances them (presumably both) and is required at first to even be able to use them for the most part. I'm assuming Fran had some latent ESP abilities. Some of these might be a bit out there and they definitely leave some things completely unexplained, but. as the game said that death is only a mental state and that you are alive if you love (mr. Originally posted by Pennydox:Here's my theory: At that point I can only assume she is either dead or drugged, but the diffrence between the ending and chapter 3 is that she wants to stay in that magical realm forever instead of coming back. Oswald was told to bring her back for the 'experiement' while she was still fresh. However, this time she was shot and and Dr. In the last chapter, I guess her ability is either being controlled or slowly wearing off because reality is melding back together again. She decides to get back to reality to find her parents only to find out that the murderer was herself (but still in denial). I think the first chapter she is still in a sane condition, the next chapter is finding her cat and escaping, the third is most likely when she's in some sort of trance where she can choose either to live in harmony with herself or get back to reality to find her parents. She sends Fran to a mental hospital, switches the drugs, and the diagnosis and experiments begin.Īfter taking the drugs, Fran's imagination warps. He had a previous failure (which were the twins sewed together), and so decided toįast forward to the murder scene, her aunt finds out she is nuts and probably has the same ability that she and her sister had, and takes advantage of the situation. Before the game, Fran's aunt and mom had some sort of special power in which Dr Oswald tapped into.
