I made whatever this is while listening to Punish by Ethel Cain

I'll get way more in-depth about this later (+ reblog I made below), I think that Bell and Case are far more interesting characters when they're "perfect failures". By that I mean that they're proofs of concepts, but ultimately they're not perfect tools.

Case is a powerhouse, he's so resilient he can take Juggernauts down effortlessly in a fist fight, and he's far faster than what anyone should be comfortable with... but Case is too principled, he can't mercilessly slaughter for Pantheon like he's supposed to (much to Jane's frustration), he can't do everything that he's told based on that alone. He rebels against his "creators".

Bell is too resilient and stubborn, they could never be controlled forever, eventually they were going to wrestle out of the control of Adler and the CIA. (I genuinely can not think of any other reason as to why Adler would've killed Bell. If he had perfect control over Bell, then it makes sense that they would be kept rather than killed because Perseus IS. NOT. GONE. That organization is still around by the end of BOCW, and Bell probably had SO much info on it.

I also don't see health failings being a problem, given how they were robust enough to show up at the Rebirth Islands for the mission.)

Yet, they did, for a quite a while, have Bell's very identity under lock and key. It was locked away and never supposed to be given back, and they did, for that time, have complete control over this poor fucker. The perfect proof of concept that complete mind control is possible.

But then again, there were always signs that Bell was fighting back in little ways, so maybe, there were just too many x factors and they didn't have the control they thought they did.

In the "Tower" of bo6 each character has a bedroom with their personal effects. Adler has the room with the safe, Troy the room with the drawings and chess, Sev the one with the make-up and clothes, Felix the one with the electronics and Woods sleeps in front of the noticeboard of clues. There are no other bedrooms, so where does Case sleep? Maybe he took the room where Adler slept since he spends little time at the safehouse.

Edit: Ok I forgot to get to the point lol. It's sad that we don't have a way to see Case's personal effects, to know what he thinks and how he lives, what his hobbies are... I think it's a sign that he's been dehumanized, as if he wasn't really a person but just a weapon.

Sometimes Case gets a lil *quirky*

I find it tragic that both Case and Bell got tossed/fell into the ocean after the game. (Adler prob disposed bell's body into the ocean)

Their use is done, therefore they are no longer needed, so into the ocean they go.

Hc : After Adler heard Case disappeared into the ocean, he gets reminded of Bell, history repeats. Adler will remember Bell which would remind him of Perseus. Perseus may have been gone (maybe) for a long time, but they had the last laugh. Stitch, Bell and the old man Perseus. They won in the end.

If Bell got a nickel for everytime he got shot by a man with aviators, he’d have 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice.

I fear I may have a favorite character archetype; traumatized, experimented on, mute, and in a balaclava
