I need to go back a reread the two star/lavender discussions Lynri has with her father but I think that's the crux of the reason for how the 'perfect' timeline plays out. Except in this case his mother is already dead in the 'base' reality so it's just the memory of her he's giving the 'perfect' timeline to. He's basically doing the same thing he does in the first two games, fulfilling a last wish (with the help of Faye). The 'perfect' timeline just looks to be a reality Watts/Faye create for his mother's memory to experience.

I'm just going to spoiler tag this whole thing to be safe but here's my interpretation: Watts and Eva getting together in the 'perfect timeline' may be some kind of unconscious desire of Watts filtering in which is why Faye makes fun of him afterwards. Watts makes a deal with her at the end of 'Finding Paradise' for his project, which is why she's managing his simulations now. Not only are they replaying the memory, but just like when they use the device on a dying patient they extrapolate new memories from it which is why they act out independently.įaye in 'Finding Paradise' and 'A Bird's Story' is implied to be some kind of force of nature or mystical being - outliving Colin and admitting to meeting him when he was a child. In the games and the mini-episodes before this you see Neil working on the technology used here, but he was never given a motive for this until now. I don't think this is Neil's memory, but as Faye explains it is Neil accessing a memory left behind by his mother, which he was previously unable to access. Obviously there is room for interpretation.
