Anya is a shy and timid character!

this of course is not true but i've noticed a few people that still cling onto this interpretation of her. even though its not a vocal group that has this idea, i'd like to talk more about this.

Jimmy is an unreliable narrator, we were given that knowledge with a scene where we see multiple working cryo pods post-crash, despite us knowing there is only one functioning cryo pod.

so of course, knowing that information, most people would start to realise everything we went through as Jimmy post-crash, it was all biased, we were in the eyes of an abuser, and we trusted the words he used to describe Anya as part of her character. that's also part of the horror for this game in my opinion. the horror that i agreed the views of an abuser horrifies me.

"He - It just hurts him so much. I can't stand the noise."

"...You did make it through nursing school, right?"

"Pony Express sure does know how to cut corners, if nothing else."

-

"I was hoping you could help me with Captain-"

"Curly."

"Right, sorry ...w-with Curly's medication?"

"People have to be worth their titles."

"Don't you think, nurse Anya?"

"...Y-yeah. Forget I asked."

these two different conversations happened in the same scene at the start of the game. after going through the game we can see now how Jimmy talks to Anya is downright insulting. maybe some people have picked up on it during their first playthrough that the way he talks to her is not normal, but we didn't think much of it. but now, now things are different.

"Anya never got into medical school because she's... well, let's be real."

"And how many employment years Swansea got left in him?"

"Daisuke will be fine, mommy and daddy have him covered. So there's that at least."

"But you."

"Headed for bigger and better, right?"

this string of dialogue came 6 days before the crash, when everyone is gathered for Curly's surprise party and Curly decided to drop the news that Pony Express is letting them all go. (this dialogue will be brought up again for something else.)

he was almost insulting everyone sitting at the table, yet in this string of dialogue, he completely disregards Anya. summing his point about her as "well, let's be real.". it shows how much he views her, which was practically nothing. but first-time playing, you didn't think much of it. because he also insulted everyone else.

If Anya told Swansea about her pregnancy he would've took action on Jimmy!

i don't think this would happen. not because Swansea is awful or he was disregarding Anya. but this whole situation is not black and white. his character is just as complex as everyone else in the Tulpar.

Swansea's mercy-killing on Daisuke

so many people say that Swansea will get Jimmy for what he did to Anya instantly if Anya told him first instead of Curly but that is simply not true. because we already saw what he would do. how he handled it in the game when she told him post-crash would how he act if she told him first before the crash. the nasty look, the judgement. he didn't straight up confront him but ever since he knew, he was quite standoff-ish with Jimmy.

why is that?

from what i know, people understand Swansea's decision to end Daisuke's life. but the reason why i'm bringing this up is because people can understand this situation with Daisuke yet they couldn't understand Anya's. they constantly say things that aren't true but accepted how Daisuke's went.

and why then? why is it that it is in that scene, when Jimmy go to grab a gun, is when Swansea decided to take Jimmy's life?

why can you understand Swansea's decision made for Daisuke but not Anya? why did he choose at the very end, after Daisuke is gone, to reveal he knows what Jimmy did to Anya?

you can argue all you want, saying i don't know you(that is true, i don't), that what i am assuming you would do is wrong, then yes. you can argue that. because at the end of the day, i am just some random person, somewhere in the planet, writing about an indie horror game on the internet. but you know yourself best, so ask yourself this.

you have to realise, not everything is black and white. you say that you'd be the first to confront Jimmy if you were in this situation where Anya tells YOU about what happened. almost anyone would. but i will believe without a doubt, that if given this same situation, you will do the same as Swansea did. why? because we're human. if something like this happened in real life, where you're given this option to choose, on what to do, you'd probably panic, you'd probably never think that would happen.
