Here's a copy-paste of how he imagined it. Wish this was demonstrated in the game, because it makes more sense tbh xD


How I Protekted Clem by Alvin Junior—

So I decide I’m not gonna do it no matter what she says. Clem’s just wrong about this.

She screams and passes out when the axe hits her leg. It might be bad to say it but I was real glad she did because it takes a few more chops to get her leg off and I don’t want her to be mad at me.

I know I gotta make fire to cot-cau-seal up the wound. Luckily we got the flint from that cave and hay’s like everywhere. I make a small fire and heat up the blade and then I push it on the bloody part and it smells like cooking and it’s totally gross so don’t tell her.

I check Clem’s forehead and she’s not cold yet and I start crying again but tell myself to stop because I got more work to do. I use some of the rope to tie around her chopped off leg because that’s kind of how Abel did it and I don’t have a roll of tape like at James’ log.

The easiest part was the monsters actually! I used the wheelbarrow to reach them and just stabbed them through the heads. There was a lot but I did it fast because they’re dumb and just came to me.

I used the wheelbarrow again and got Clem in it. Took forever because I’m not big and I’m so tired. I throw guts all over her and check her head again and it’s still warm and there’s no monsters when I open the barn doors and that’s good because it’s a real long way to push all this to the school.

But Clem did it for me when I got shot and I’m just going to do the same thing because she always believes in me and that’s why I do too.

Yayy

I'm sticking with the ambiguous ending unless they patch his version in it

[Dethlane]

Little dude became a real survivor and protektor. Yeah, flashback of this scene would've been cool. Wonder what Ericson inhabitants's expressions were when they saw AJ carrying the wheelbarrow with unconscious Clem

[mighty]

unnecessary ... most players are able to use their own brain. but okay .... :) Who needs to get the obvious pushed in the face .... well ... some players need it. anyways...
nice ending and worthy :)

[Wicktine]

Even when one of the main writers confirms this being the case some people are still in denial. Like someone who commented on this post.

[Darkblitzie]

So this is canon and the "dream ending" theory can be put to rest.

Is this the quickest death of a game theory in gaming history?

Of course not, this could still be part of the dream theory of how AJ imagined the rescue would occur. Game director literally has to say "there is no dream theory" for it to die it's final death.

its not a bloody dream gee some people are thick. she had it chopped off .

[Athaz]

I'm not thick, I just find my interpretation more entertaining. And no one's denying she had it chopped off, we're just claiming there's a chance it could all happen in AJs imagination.

If it was his imagination, it would've been rid of any inconveniences for characters in it (like Clem's leg or Louis's tongue), since AJ would've been dreaming of happy world then. However, traumatized characters stay that way, dead ones too, and there is a discussion of "what if spotted people are bad". Way too much bad stuff for it to be a dream.

This is da bess
