“It feels like I’ve been doing the same thing for weeks now…days…? Months…? I can’t even remember anymore.”
The debut of AU Henry! This prompt was a bit of a doozy, since the Loop doesn’t actually exist in my AU! The events of the game only happen once, no weird loops or retries. Still, Henry is the one usually associated with the Loop, so I figured I’d finally give him a design!
Rambling under cut:
So, Henry is actually pretty important to the AU, despite me having never posted about him before (oops). Henry was the first employee to return to the studio (Duh), and arrived there a few days longer before Olivia. He’s actually the reason she was able to get (Someone didn’t lock the door after he went in).
He acts a bit like a foil to Olivia. Henry is set on ending the nightmare within the studio with the End Reel, while Olivia is looking for a different way to undo Joey’s mess. Their clashing ideals often lead to conflict within the larger group (Henry’s gang consists of Allison, Tom, and Buddy, once they bring him back). While he’s “antagonistic”, he’s not the bad guy. He’s antagonistic in Olivia’s eyes, which fuels her ideals of saving everyone even further (to her detriment). He believes that they can’t fix things here, having already tried to before the Music Department gang joined up with his.
He’s a really interesting character to mess around with in the AU, so hopefully now I have a design, maybe you guys can expect more Henry content!
