Is there a male version of Mother Miranda yet? And if not can I introduce everyone to Father Frederick, he not only lost his daughter during the Spanish flu epidemic but also his beloved wife.
The rest of the story is the same, he goes into the cave to kill himself, finds the Megamycete, does experiments to try and rebirth his daughter and wife. He had hopes that Alicia or Donna could have been the vessel for his beloved wife but no such luck. And in truth he had given up hope for finding the host for his wife and instead focused on resurrecting his daughter, at least he could have one back.
A century later it seems like all his planning is finally falling into place, the Winters child would be the perfect vessel for Eva and he could finally be happy again. When Frederick sneaks into the home to spy on the family while they sleep when he comes across a family photo. He almost drops the frame when he sees you, you were the perfect image of his late wife.
Every detail he could see was the same, even down to the little scar under your eye was the same. Frederick couldn't believe his eyes, his heart starts to beat wildly for the first time in decades. All hope for his wife had died long ago but seeing this, seeing you, he knew you were the key to bringing her back.
After watching in the shadows for weeks Frederick learns that you're actually Ethan's younger sister and due to the Dulvey incident the relationship between the two of you had become strained. That's nothing a quick text from a stolen phone can't fix.
When Frederick sees you for the first time he stops breathing for a moment. Everything about you was the same, from your smile to your mannerisms. He just wanted to reach out and touch you, hold you, kiss you but he had to keep reminding himself that you weren't her. Not yet, he just needed to wait a little longer and then everything would be right, he's family would be whole again after all this time.
