Dummy

The movie magazine- "is there really only two characters?" Because he was there, there was three characters in the original tale the book and in turn movie was inspired on, Felicia, mortuga, and gripp. Yet the movie only has belicia, Markus, and death.

And I can't word it quite right, but he cares about the people on the ship. He worries for sinthia, he knows that contract wasn't meant for her, because it was meant for him, and despite craving the mermaids mask he doesn't want her to waste away down here. He mentions how sym blames herself and shouldn't, that it was bad timing. That's not even including the end part, where he makes sure grimm tells everyone the truth about each matter, so they don't stay stuck in their misconceptions about the death or their own blame in the matter. When you ask him about mortuga he makes sure to say he wasn't a selfish man, admitting numerous times him hiding the mask from him was likely done to protect him, to protect everyone.

DO NOT OPEN IF YOU HAVEN'T FINISHED THE GAME

I was just watching a let's play after playing it myself and it's fucking fascinating to watch Gripp dig into his own past and memories in order to come up with a believable lie.

When you ask for his statement, he says he heard the murder happen above him, which was likely the truth, but instead of telling you he went to the control panel to tilt the ship he tells you he ran and his away in his room out of "cowardice," the same descriptor he used to describe why he hadn't traveled like he wanted to or why he let the ship's wheel drag him to the surface.

We all know he didn't actually hide away in the engine room, but when he was lying to us, it's increadibly likely he was thinking about the moments where he did hide and run away and using the self hate and shame born from those moments to make the shame of him hiding from the murderer even more believable.

Idk if he did that on purpose or not, but it sure as hell made me believe him lmao.
