What if the investor is Riders father?

It has already been stated that Rider was adopted off the street by his dead mother, that he doesn’t remember his parents, last name, or where he came from.

Like burn and Lilly it is clear he went through the Mecha Gene experiment at a young age to save his life.

The investor for obvious reasons invested a lot of money into the project funding it completely as it seems.

People rarely do that unless the research will, 1. Save the world 2.Save their life

3. Save their child's life

If Rider was dying as I young child it stands to reason that if his parent was loaded he would give everything he had to make sure his precious son would be okay.

Other evidence

1. The investor was enraged when Gigi said she killed a mecha, but calmed down he learned it wasn’t Rider

2. If the investor was searching for Rider it makes sense that he found Gigi along the way

3. He said it wouldn’t do that Gigi’s face was burnt, if his son liked her (for her looks he would assume) it would be bad if she lost them

4. His “minons” write down names, he has them searching for them

5. Burns seems to have met the Investor, and was harsh against Rider when she met him

6. Rider has leadership skills, along with the investor

She couldn't possibly feel more guilt, unless I gave mine to her

The mecha gene

[lilly-is-a-lesbian]

I love how at the begining of the mecha gene you literally cannot tell Riders or Burns genders. Like you make the assumption that Rider is a girl and Burn is a boy during the fight scene and then two paragraphs later it’s like,

What I’m wondering is how in the heck does the world have a system where wearing differn’t colors shows what job/skills you have?!?!?!!!

So I have this theory in relation to the  “Burn can’t read theory”, which is  a pretty common one and is heavily backed up

Reasons pointing towards it.

1.  Riders mentions how Burn looks “confused” at signs on abandoned buildings like she doesn't understand them

2. Burn literally says at one point “I need to get Lilly to read this to me”

3. we never actually see her write anything

Less concrete reasons;

1: Rider can read “anything” so it would be a plot ploy for strengthening their character comparison

2. Gigi is dyslexia and similar characteristics have been used to draw lines between them, this may be another one.

Reasons against;

1: she speaks a billion languages and it’s hard to learn languages without being able to read (not impossible)

2. It would be incredibly hard for Burn to track people down without the skill

3. She appears educated.

Wich is why I believe Burn can read, just in another language

burn stated that she was raised by her brother after her mother was killed and that he was a scientist so it’s unlikely that he wouldn’t educate her but we’re missing the obvious.

Burn is Italian at least and maybe mixed race and is said to have done a lot of travel, English may not be her first language. so why would she be able to read flawlessly in it.

Burn can probably read in Italian guys

So I painted a portrait of half Lilly and half Lucy. This was my first time trying to paint Lucy and I’m excited about the way is came out. Although Lucy's looks a bit older than I pictured her.
