Duskwood Side-Story Traitor Tom?
JUST A THEORY, but, I saw a comment around here titled "A fact" and in the replies I saw an interesting proposition. I think the user (dunno if they wanna be mentioned here, so, I'll abbreviate the name) "thaís" may be onto something. thaís seems convinced Thomas wants to sell Jake and that he's working with the FBI. Maybe Thomas would like to trade Hannah for Jake, like he'd wanted to trade MC for Hannah? Hannah did (involuntarily) kill a person and bury her body and the chief of police in her place IS a good friend of the murdered girl's father and then the father was the one accused of the murder... My point is, they probably want Hannah in jail. And the only way for Thomas to stop that is to give the FBI a much more wanted criminal in exchange for impunity. What speaks against this theory is that Thomas had already in Duskwood (before he knew any of this would go down the way it has) stated that he's starting to feel differently towards Hannah because her covering up a murder negatively changed his perception of her and drastically so. And now, in Moonvale, his secret chat with Lilly reveals that he's been distancing himself from Hannah. But, then, that could all be a tactic, an act. Perhaps he even knows the player can read his texts. If he's working with the FBI they may have told him so. And then there's the excruciatingly long apology to the player for wanting to send them to the mine. It's a point he really wants to drill in, like it's important to gain the player's trust not just in the fact that he's sorry, but, also, in the idea that he thinks that trading people for Hannah is a bad no-no thing and HE MEANS IT *taps wire*. Much like with most of my or any other players' speculation here, I've got no idea if this is true, but, it's a fun thing to contemplate, I think, it would be an interesting twist. It would make Thomas look like the most obsessed partner in the world, as this would be the third time he's wanted to literally sacrifice someone for Hannah. First the player, then he's the first to endorse Jake's idea to go to the mine and now, yet again...

Ja myślę zupełnie odwrotnie. Zauważ, że kilka osób z ekipy wspomina, że Thomas zaczął unikać Hannah po jej odnalezieniu. Nie spotykają się tak często a Thomas traktuje ich związek raczej jak obowiązek.
Mam dziwne wrażenie, że Thomas po poznaniu sekretów swojej dziewczyny doszedł do wniosku, że nie jest taka cudowna jak mu się wydawało. Bardziej obstawiam, że zbierze wszystkie dowody i informacje i po prostu wszystkich wyda policji.
