ALYSON N GENTLY POT OUT TO HIM THAT IF YOU'RE POOR AND NEED FOOD YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE A CHOICE AND ASK IF HE'S FOTTEN THAT SCE BEG AT FIREWEED, WHICH TYLER TO APOLOGISE. IT'S ALL ABOUT ME: MOST OF THE CHOIC THE GAME THAT N WEAKEN THE BOND BETWEEN THE TWS ARE ED BY ALYSON DISAGREEG WH TYLER, GIVG THE APPEARANCE THAT TYLER IS THE RIGHT FOR THE RELLECTNS AND CHOIC TO BE MA. MANCHILD: DOWNPLAYED. HE HAS TROUBLE ADJTG TO ADULT LIFE AFTER GETTG OUT OF FIREWEED, BEE ALL HIS BASIC NEEDS WERE TAKEN RE OF WHILE HE WAS THERE AND HE NEVER HAD TO LEARN TO PROVI FOR HIMSELF.

SHE ALSO TRIED TO KILL HIM WH A SHOTGUN THE NIGHT OF HER ATH, PRUMABLY BEE HE'D LET ALYSON CUT HIS HAIR AFTER SHE REFED TO DO . THOUGH THE ENDG OF CHAPTER 1 IMPLI THAT MIGHT NOT EXACTLY HAVE BEEN WHAT HAPPENED AFTER ALL. CHAPTER 3 ALSO RAIS THE POSSIBILY, THAT SHE WASN'T GOG TO KILL HIM EHER. RATHER HERSELF, THEN FOR A MISUNRSTANDG TO OCCUR WHEN TYLER WALKED . IRONILLY, SEEMS MARY-ANN'S PARENTS WERE JT AS BAD AT RAISG A CHILD AS SHE WAS. HER MOTHER IS IMPLIED TO HAVE BEEN VERY NTROLLG, EVEN GOG SO FAR AS TO KILL MARY-ANN'S PET BIRD AND DRIVE AWAY HER BOYIEND.

IT'S ALSO IMPLIED THAT SHE KILLED MARY-ANN'S PET BIRD WHEN SHE WAS STILL A CHILD. DRIVEN TO SUICI: THE GAME IMPLI THAT MARY-ANN WAS PLANNG TO KILL HERSELF THE NIGHT SHE DIED, AND TYLER STUMBLG ON HER SHOOK HER ROLVE. WHETHER SHE WAS PLANNG ON TAKG THE TWS WH HER IS UP TO THE PLAYER TO CI. DROWNG MY SORROWS: IF YOU TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT HER TOPSY REPORT, YOU WILL NOTICE ONE LTLE BUT SIGNIFINT TAIL: TRAC OF ALHOL WERE FOUND MARY-ANN'S BLOOD. CONSIRG THAT SHE KNEW SOCIAL SERVIC WERE CLOSG , SHE H THE BOTTLE THE NIGHT SHE GRABBED HER RIFLE, AND THEREFORE HER JUDGMENT MAY HAVE BEEN ALTERED BY ALHOL.

THE LOST LENORE: IT'S AN OPEN SECRET THAT SAM WAS LOVE WH HER. AND THAT HE'S STILL UNABLE TO MOVE ON. MAMA BEAR: PART OF A PET THE DOG MOMENT: WHEN SHE DISCSED TYLER BEG TRANSGENR TO TSA, AND SHE PROPOSED A NVERSN THERAPY MP, MARY-ANN ANGRILY YELLED AT TSA AND WAS READY TO TEAR HER A NEW ONE FOR EVEN THG OF THE IA. UPON LEARNG THIS, TYLER IS UNRSTANDBLY TROUBLED. OUTLIVG ONE'S OFFSPRG: HER FIRST CHILD, LEO. PARENTS AS PEOPLE: SHE WAS VERY SMOTHERG, PECIALLY TO TYLER, AND HIGHLY UNSTABLE, WHICH CULMATED HER ATTEMPTED FANTCI. HOWEVER, WE LEARN SOME OF HER PLEXI AS A PERSON THROUGHOUT THE GAME. FOR ALL HER TRANSPHOBIA, 'S HTED SHE ACTUALLY DID HAVE AN TERT BEG A GOOD MOTHER TO HER SON. THE "ATTACK" IS ALSO REVEALED TO HAVE POSSIBLY BEEN A TERRIBLE MISUNRSTANDG. POSTHUMO CHARACTER: SHE'S BEEN AD FOR TEN YEARS BY THE STORY'S PRENT, BUT STILL HAS A GREAT IMPACT ON HER KIDS' LIV AND HAS A MAJOR ROLE THE STORY. THE RUNAWAY: SHE RAN AWAY OM HER NTROLLG, ABIVE FAY TO START A NEW LIFE DELOS CROSSG. STARVG ARTIST: PLAYED STRAIGHT. SHE HAD IMMENSE ARTISTIC TALENT, BUT WAS ALWAYS SHORT ON MONEY DURG HER LIFETIME.

HES ATTENDG AA MEETGS, HAS MOVED OUT OF DELOS CROSSG FOR A H START AND SOUNDS AS THOUGH HES A MUCH BETTER PLACE. ALL LOVE IS UNREQUED: HE WAS EPLY LOVE WH MARY-ANN, BUT SHE DIDN'T SEE HIM AS MORE THAN JT A GOOD IEND.

WHEN HE REAPPEARS LATER THE STORY HE GIFTS TYLER A POCKET KNIFE, FIGURG THAT NO-ONE EVER THOUGHT TO GIVE HIM ONE (NOT THAT HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED ONE A YOUTH OFFENRS' CENTRE ANYWAY...), BUT SISTG THAT 'S AN SENTIAL GIFT FOR ANY YOUNG MAN TO RECEIVE OM A FATHER FIGURE HIS LIFE.
