I had some visions

This is sooo interesting to me.

I think Aiden Walker was always a bit fucked up. He was a prison guard.

I like to think if Ava hadn't been kidnapped, or maybe even before she got kidnapped, he'd be/was the most intensely protective dad ever. She'd come home from school crying cause some kids bullied her and he'd be having words with the school and the parents of those kids. And if that don't work... Wow where did that bloody knife come from?

It's sunk in how much Aiden cares about Ava

Aiden seems to be almost entirely selfish. He never cares about the rebels or even the other Combine members. He mentions people he likes but never once seems to consider how other people are feeling or go out of his way for others.

Like taking Wilson with him is still kinda selfish cause Wilson can open doors and taking him to Arbeit 3 is just a simple thing he can do while completing his mission. And even if Aiden didn't suspect he'd be coming across more doors that Wilson could open, I still think he probably took Wilson with him because he liked him and not out of kindness.

But he goes to such extreme lengths to find out what happened to Ava and get revenge.

He doesn't talk about getting her back, he only wants to hurt whoever was responsible.

Ava doesn't serve a purpose, and children are exhausting. But he cared about her so much anyway. And all that matters to him now is revenge.

And you know its about Ava and not about his reputation because the last thing he says before getting his memory wiped is her name. Not "I'm innocent" or "I didn't do it" but just "Ava"

And idk why but that makes me feel Things

These are really fun

Will prob make more tomorrow

I was thinking about a simple observation and had a thought that punched me right in the feels and lead me to making an incredibly vague theory about what happened to Ava.

Clone Cop and Bad Cop are the same person. Yet Clone Cop, in the presence of Wilson, immediately starts insulting him. (And Wilson has an apprehensive reaction. Did something happen between them?) what's most interesting to me is he straight up lies about him. He claims he never got any use out of Wilson yet in a recording he admits to keeping Wilson around because he can open doors. Clone Cop also apparently left Wilson behind for Bad Cop. Yet he later mocks Bad Cop for carrying Wilson around.

Aiden says he simply says he used to hang out with 28/Bec. But I think they were a lot closer than he makes it sound. Because I learned from a vid that Bec and Aiden say "here they come" the exact same way. That is peak bestie behavior. These two spent enough time together that they speak the same sentences in the same exact tone even when they haven't spoken to each other in years. But Aiden says they just "hung out at work" which is probably not a lie but it sounds like it significantly downplays their relationship. Its like Breen saying one has "been chosen to be relocated" technically true buuut.

Meanwhile Bec and Bloody talk about Bad Cop like he's a common conversation topic. But it takes a bit of prodding from Wilson to make Aiden talk about Bec.

So it seems like Bad Cop doesn't like talking about the people he's close to. Perhaps to keep himself from being blackmailed or used in some way?

But he's pretty open about Ava. Yea she's not in his life anymore but the wrong person can (and has) used knowledge of her against him.

Clone Cop didn't mention Ava ro Wilson. And he had realized he'd been betrayed by the Combine.

My point is: what if there's a reason behind possible caginess about people he likes?

I don't remember exactly what it said, but a couple lines from the advisor bossfight, while obviously false, had strange details. I think one thing it said was "you let them take her." And a couple other lines made me think Aiden actually has some idea of who took Ava but not enough of a picture/evidence.

Like, what if he was betrayed by someone who wasn't who they said they were? A false identity. Something like that. Where he knew who it was but not actually. Would explain the mental asylum thing, too, if said person or maybe even a group, managed to make it look like they straight up never existed. To others, it'd look like Aiden couldn't handle the guilt so he conjured up some imaginary people to blame it on.

*Ai*den... and *A*va...

Is Ava's name like Asriel's? Basically her parents ship name?

Was her mom named Valerie or something?
