Alyson was also getting the therapy she needed to fully start healing." I Want It That Way" is a song by American boy band Backstreet Boys.

Plus I want to believe Mary-Anne's actions, even when she obviously wasn't her most rational, didn't paint her as someone who would bring herself in any circumstance to a murder/suicide with her children. Between the controlling parents sabotaging her life, losing a child to I presume SIDS, and likely mental illness ending of her story was all the more tragic.įor the ending I chose to believe Tom, as sleazy as he was, twins memory had way too many holes to trust. Tom really was the appropriate amount of sleaze and slime you would expect for someone with his story.Īlso Mary-Anne's story was plenty depressing. Was happy that my prediction of Tom being the father was correct and not the random hunter guy that was encountered, that would have been a left field twist to the game's detriment.
