A bitter reunion.

[mintytealfox]

Hypothetically, if someone were to happen to Alice and Norton....

Who do you think would be the people they trust to care for their kids.

For best to worst.

OH MAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

When it comes to the people they both know:

MELLY IS NUMBER ONE FOR SURE and LIKELY THE ONLY ONE LOL 👀💪💪💪 I feel like her core thing is 'to protect'. She protects the innocent and the vulnerable. Her focus is insects until she meets Alice. After meeting Alice and realizing that she is in fact 'Alice' she starts putting things in action to help Alice get out, including convincing Norton to switch sides. She would do everything in her power to make sure the kid had the best up bringing and she has the money to do so as well 🙏🙏🙏 She will also eliminate threats and ya know what good for her lol

the more I think about it, the more she would be the only one that both Norton and Alice would agree would be the best fit

cause liiiike,

They can't really trust the kiddo to Frederick cause I can see him kinda too zoned out and distracted and run down to be able to care for a kiddo ;; He might sort himself out as best he can to help the kid but not sure he could do it for the long run. But who knows, maybe the kid would help keep those voices at bay

Definitely not Orpheus, heck they need to protect the kid from Orpheus. He doesn't even take care of himself (judging how he is as a detective) he is far too unstable oh my GOSH He might not be able to separate that the kid is from Alice and Norton, that the kid is tainted because Norton was the father and I am worried that the nightmare side of him won't treat the child well because of that. And like make the kid pay the price Norton was supposed to. To make the kid the villain Norton was supposed to be 😨😭😭😭 But then there is the other side of wanting to protect the kid because they are also half of Alice.... so the kid would be his 'dangerous nightingale' ugh

Alice knows other people that would protect the kiddo as well, likely, but Melly would be the one that they BOTH know and trusted back then and can trust now and in the future and I am sure Frederick would visit and help where he can~

Orpheus would have to be kept away oh my gosh 😵‍💫

If: Then:

Achtung! Fanon!

I often see fan musings on the theme of parent-child interactions between little Alice and young Orpheus, but why not take it a step further with a version of a grown Orpheus and an older Alice?

It may seem funny, but when I first saw the game, I thought the story would be about a father and daughter exploring the secrets of the manor. Everything turned out to be less obvious, and won’t hide it, I’m even happier with it.

Man, I miss detective, I think more ppl should talk about him

Something I find absolutely fascinating is how Orpheus and Alice actually alternate between playing the roles of Orpheus and Eurydice.

We meet Orpheus in his namesake's role - a detective revisiting the place of his past, rediscovering his memories - venturing into the underworld to find what he's lost.

As we learn more about him, he seems to be more and more of the "Orpheus" - looking for his Eurydice in Memory, the fact that it's implied in the Memory Pages that he started everything for Alice - to try and get her out of the asylum when he was denied the right to adopt her. The fact that he loses sight of Alice, loses her as he loses himself in his reconstruction of "paradise" to the point where he might not even recognize her when she arrives at the manor.

But Alice is also looking for him. She returns to her place of memory, to the underworld, looking for him. Again, the Memory Pages tell us a lot - that once she knows he's here, she wants to save him. That she's willing to do anything for it. That they lose each other, in the end.

In mythology, Orpheus is a musician. The game makes a point that our Orpheus likes music, but he claims he isn't any good at playing it himself - Alice, however, is.

"Don't look back" and "Face it, and it'll all be over" - they seem like opposites, but they're two sides of the same coin. Because Orpheus does look back, he *keeps* looking back, and so does Alice. "Don't look back" is a warning that always goes ignored. In the new tutorial cutscenes, we see Alice able to leave, but when she hears Orpheus's voice, she *looks back.* Neither can leave the other behind in the underworld.

Lucky being an assistant to the Detective is so funny if he ever meets Orpheus

Because wow....bro was insufferable when he was young 😭😭😭 he cant believe he grows up to be the Detective

Meanwhile Orpheus is confused because?? Lucky somehow knows things about him even though theyve never properly interacted. What the fuck do you mean you know that i fell from a tree at the age of 5 because my kite got stuck.

Orpheus getting caught in a spiral when he learns Alice left.

Okay, so I am watching all the detective Orpheus stuff and different things are standing out to me and the most prominent thing that I probably should have realized forever ago but

almost every time Alice's mom is shown in trailers and such she has THOSE SIMILAR SHAPED WINGS AS MISS NIGHTINGALE (the only time you don't see her with the wings on her shoulders is when Orpheus is telling the story and self inserting himself in Alice's place.)

NOW

every time Orpheus thinks back on Alice he views her as TWO people

The only time he sees Little Girl alone is after this scene in the Little Girl Trailer:

then little girl is alone and trapped

being referred to as 'My Nightingale' and "HIS' unfailing bait" and she is a bird that is caged just like Miss Nightingale, she ain't going much of anywhere in that cage petticoat

maybe she could shuffle along but I dunno, maybe portals around the manor lol I don't knowww

ANYWAYS back to the point:

Detective Orpheus is obviously unhinged as heck but he refers to Alice as the 'little girl with her mother' Then I saw somewhere that Miss Nightingale 'visits him' 'haunts him' (so that got me thinking that is where the 'mom alice' went/became in his mind and she haunts him in a way) but I couldn't find it anywhere to see for myself so I am throwing that out until there is some way to see for sure.

but she appears to him as much as little girl does, both guiding and helping people

but back to my REAL POINT:

He sees Little Girl, as the Alice he knew. and This grown up lady that he calls her 'Mom', in place of present Alice

So Orpheus's psycho brain seeing this lady as the mom of little girl and his brain starts piecing together this woman that is a mixture of: -present Alice(who is actually standing there in front of him), -with her actual mother(with her iconic feathers), -and the nightingale The only three things he remembers at first and that his alter ego wants captured to use as BAIT likely to weaken the main orpheus ego so he gain take control again like before the da capo game takes place and his evil plottings. because the nightingale/Alice is his weakness

goodness gracious this is a mess, whenever I am diggin into Orpheus stuff and how he thinks its all so messy LOL

but I made this its own post cause its more Miss Nightingale centered

now to finish that Detective Orpheus ask that inspired all this 👀
