Hear me out......

I'm sure by now many of you know about the hidden sister location room in the pizza plex. Someone figured out that there are 16 CDs hidden around the entire building and each one plays a different session between Vanessa and her therapist. You can play these CDs in the player on the wall in the room.You can also listen to them all on YouTube :)

While all CDs are indeed about a therapy session...it starts to become clear that they're not just Vanessa's. In CDs 2, 4, 6, 8, 13, 14, 15 and 16. I'll be referring to this person as patient 2.

Patient 2 and Vanessa seem to be different from each other in some ways such as details like flowers. In CD 4, patient 2 isnt liking the flowers and the therapist moves them while in CD 9, Vanessa likes them. This was the thing that made me realise these are different people. Other small things like this do occur such as eating candy or the chair they're sitting on.

Patient 2 has went through 5 different therapists. The first 2 went missing and 1 was found dead and the 4th one jokes about this a little bit. Ironic. Vanessa has also had the same first 3 therapists as patient 2 until she stops going to therapy in CD 12. When therapist 1 disappears, Vanessa is confused about where she went while patient 2 is described as not really caring.

While these 2 are different, I noticed some similarities. The two are both communicating with some weird unknown entity. Neither of them open up or say (note: patient 2 doesn't speak at all) anything about who this person is. In CD 3 we find out about Vanessa's family. There was a custody battle in the past and her dad, Bill, manipulated her into saying tjings about her mother that weren't true. Therapist 2 in CD 5 asks Vanessa about these conversations and tells her that this person has been hacking into her files (the therapy ones) and is getting very private information about her. They also say that this person is being manipulative. These 2 point's are important.

Patient 2 and their conversation with the weird entity is weird alright. It seems to me like there is 2 different conversations with 2 different people.

In CD 14, Therapist 4 says that patient 2 has conversations with themselves. That they have robots that ask them questions however they're a bit too real. A bit manipulative. This made me think of when Vanny was talking to the glitchtrap plush in the curse of dread bear DLC.

However the second conversation, therapist 5 in CD 15 says that it is manipulative however this time, patient 2 is being manipulative towards the other person. I was still thinking that Vanny and Vanessa and the same person until the inkblot test happened. Patient 2 did an inkblot test and said (well whatever way they communicated) and said it looked like a mask or a disguise. The therapist (no. 5) asks if they like the idea of being disguised and they replied with yes (again, whatever was they communicate). At this, my brain was starting to be like OK something isn't what it seems. The icing on the cake was when therapist 5 said there was a picture of patient 2 from the security cameras at the pizza plex. She described it as pretty distorted but said it looked like her then asked the the winning question...."are those bunny ears?"

I think patient 2 is Vanny or whoever Vanny even is anymore. I think the chain is that Glitchtrap is manipulating Vanny into manipulating Vanessa. One big ol manipulation train. When glitchtrap asks "have you chosen one?" In the curse of dreadbear DLC I believe he's asking "whose doing the dirty work?" because Vanny already has been like taken over by him but he can't lose her so they need someone else to do the work. This falls on poor Vanessa who is easily manipulated due to her past. She repeatedly said she did what she did because she wanted to be a "good girl" and that feeling still obviosuly hasn't left her.

It's worth mentioning princess quest here as well. In 2 and 3 there is a red candle that's lit and when it's lit 2 princess characters appear. Could be hinting at Vanny and Vanessa but I haven't looked into that too far I just thought it was worth mentioning.

Another thing is that patient 2 lied about their past. They told therapist 3 that there was a tragic incident (sound familiar?) but when therapist 5 rolled along and said she did some digging on their past and actually found out they had a great childhood and put an emphasis on mother and father. Remember when I said it was important that whoever Vanessa was having the conversation with was hacking into her files? Here's where it comes into play.

When patient 2 is asked why they lied they don't answer at all and stare at the floor. I get an odd feeling that maybe it's patient 2 / Vanny trying to be as similar to Vanessa as possible.

Last thing, In one of the endings, the building burns down and Freddy and Vanny fall to their death and when Gregory gets down he unmasked a dead Vanny and sees a blonde girl. Everyones first reaction is yea yea Vanny = Vanessa we know but after the credits... we see Vanessa still in her work uniform looking down from a burning buidling at what has happened.
