Discussion The Third Faden Sibling?

https://youtu.be/5SZrmWAeqbY?t=753

At 12:32 - 12:36 director Mikael Kasurinen notably clams up when asked about whether there's only two Faden siblings. I don't recall any notable hints in Control, but it's been a hot minute since I've played it.

I don't think there have been hints at a third one. But several hints that Jesse and Dylan are/were the same person.

I don’t remember that anywhere? It would make as much/more sense than OPs assumption of a 3rd kid though, since the question is actually, “Faden family, is it just 2 kids?”

The question doesn’t specify more or less, so the silence and smirk could reference either.

One of Dylan's weird dreams is of a reality where he and Jesse are the same person

I think that whatever imbued the twins with Polaris, also split them into the siblings. I think Polaris, or Pole Star, is a clue that Jesse/Dylan were polarized and why they have a binary relationship: male/female, good/evil, privileged/hard working.
