[SPOILERS] A question about the end of the game

[EzequielV]

First of all, i haven't played the first game... and i wanted to know, since at the end of this game it seems like Gerret and Edna weren't real. So i was wondering if then it was Lilly who escaped on the first game and knocked Dr. Marcel down the stairs but she saw herself as a girl named Edna, would that be what happened?

P.S: Sorry for my bad grammar

Dr. Marcel was lying about Gerret and Edna being fake. After Lilli goes through the hypnotic treatment, Marcel asks her a bunch of questions including "Do you know a girl named Edna?", and explains to Mother Superior a bit about her, which means that Edna is indeed real. He also said that Gerret and Edna weren't "real", but that was because he was trying to fool Lilli into believing that she was sick so that she wouldn't kill him.

I didn't play the first game, but from what it looks like, it looks like Marcel was able to walk before and the reason why he's in the wheelchair now is because Edna pushed him down the stairs in the first game. I never thought of Lilli having a split personality/imaginary friend though, I'll have to think on that for a bit.

So Edna & Gerret were real? Well, that's great. I really liked Gerret.

Thanks for the comment, I'll see if I can get the first game someday.

I interpret it like this: There are two Ednas. First is the real Edna, who escaped from the Asylum, crippled Dr. Marcel, and became a local legend. Second is Lilly's imaginary friend, who is based on the legend.

Dr. Marcel is still obsessed with Edna, and maybe even heard about Lilly having an (imaginary) friend named Edna. That explains why he asks about her.

Although the party for the hanged girl could also mean that Lilly is experiencing auditory halucinations as well. (Was Mother Superior really congratulating a corpse, or was Lilly imagining it? Maybe she was saying something else, and Lilly just heard what she wanted to hear.)
So Marcel might not have really said anything about Edna, and Lilly only imagined him saying it.

Probably not, however in the first game whenever Edna looks in the mirror she says something like "Funny, I always imagined myself having blonde hair.".

All of this is supposed to be ambiguous and interpretation. That's the whole vibe I get from this game. It's pretty amazing actually. It's too bad we won't get to know anyone's true fate after this game. It's a shame since Edna's always been my favorite.
