Theory about Case #628 Strange Little Girl and endings *spoilers*

[Cole Grippah]

The ending, especially the reject one, seemed to be foreshadowed in this mission. If you assume that the A that Pieta was speaking to was Adam using her for a test subject to see if entering another body was possible it explains his knowledge of the mind melding.

There is also a darker side implied by the reject ending if you allowed Pieta back into the girl's mind. As Adam traps you into the worker drone in order to force you out of your body, there is a toy in the girl's room that shows signs of neural activity if you scan it. This implies that Pieta did actually force out the little girl and trapped her in the discarded toy.

Thoughts?

Interesting observation about the toy. Definitely worth pondering over.

Interesting theory - just so you know, the toy (named Mr. Scooter) is an easter egg from the studio's other game "Layers of Fear". In the game, the toy was sort of "alive" in a sense that it interacted with the player and moved around on its own, so that may be what the "neural activity" is alluding too. I hadn't thought about Pieta forcing the girl into the toy, but I suppose it's possible. My big question though is where is the girl's body? there was nothing else in the room besides the toy.
