Lyrics from A Pound of Flesh by Radical Face

okay but i actually love that theory. i love the idea that (the first) kyle was basically a kind of family legend, more of a character really than an uncle. and i love the idea that frederick naming his son kyle is a way of him finally coming to terms with his family heritage. maybe it was also a way to get his uncle back or to give him a second chance, too...

hi so do you think that frederick's son who becomes bella's friend in secrets (cellar door) was named kyle after the "crooked" twin from always gold?

Hello! Yeah I definitely think that’s very likely. Especially because (the first) Kyle spent so much time away from home I can imagine Virgil telling his sons slightly exaggerated stories about their uncle. Now that I think about it actually, (the second) Kyle might’ve been called that by Frederick because naming his son after a less morally sound member of the family could be a sign of him coming to terms with his family heritage like he began to do in The Crooked Kind!

i always thought the boy from the road to nowhere was actually phillip from the mute, but the timeline didn't add up, and then i found out from the guidebook that it was supposed to be patrick.

i liked the idea that stone took phillip in after he ran away from home, but the timeline (again) didn't add up because they were probably closer in age to siblings than mentor and mentee. so it makes a lot more sense that the boy he's singing to in we're on our way is patrick!

i always wondered what happened to phillip, though...

another question: do you think that stone's apprentice that he's singing to in we're on our way is patrick, abel's bastard son from the road to nowhere?

do you think stone found him and took him in after patrick escaped the gilded hand?

do you think he reminded him of severus?

That’s a really interesting idea! I’ve always wondered what happened to Patrick after he escaped the gilded hand. There’s so much potential there!

Well, as a child I mostly spoke inside my head

I had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the dead

And they thought me broken, that my tongue was coated lead

But I just couldn't make my words make sense to them

If you only listen with your ears I can't get in
