Wally Can Manipulate Other, Perception and Consciousness?
In the latest updates, Wally hints that he can āhearā the neighborsā thoughts as if they were radio stations. But⦠what if he can do more than that? What if Wally can manipulate other charactersā presence, memories, or even their consciousness in order to deceive them?
A key example appears in the āIām Proud of You! Specimen Eā audio. After the Christmas update, Frank wants to follow Eddie when he leaves the partyābut he is suddenly stopped by āJulie,ā who says:āWhat are you doing, silly billy? The partyās this way! Come on, letās go eat, drink and be merry!ā
Frank immediately becomes confused. He notices Julieās sudden appearance and her unusual strength. The translated audio hints that Frankās thoughts sound like a distorted radio transmission, and the transcription even notes it:(Frank sounds different.) Was that⦠was that right? Was she really this adamant?Was it really her? Was she someone else?Right after this distorted āradio thought,ā Julie disappearsāand Wally appears in her place.He repeats Julieās exact words: Didnāt you hear me, Frank? I said we should go eat, drink, and be merry.āFrank becomes even more disturbed:(He sounds scared.) It was Wally? Why would he stop me?Julieās so strongāWally couldnāt have been the one to hold me backā¦At the end of the audio, Frankās confusion reaches its peak:āIt was me⦠I couldnāt go through the door. But then⦠how did I get here?Why canāt I remember?ā
This suggests something important:Whenever Frankās thoughts shift into that āradioā tone, Wally may be reading his mind and altering his memoriesāor something even darker, like manipulating his awareness entirely.If Wally can distort what Frank sees, hears, remembers, and even thinksā¦what else is he capable of behind that cute little puppet smile? š±
