Bittersweet Ending | |
Wax / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: Poppy saves Paraffin, although there are quite a few people who did not survive - including Dud. Also, it's implied that the Chandlers may have a way to return, but the chances of that are slim. | |

Big Bad Duumvirate: Anita and Preston Chandler are technically both equally responsible for the sinister plot that Poppy unravels, although Anita seems to be the one more in control. | |

Wax / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Marie Tussaud is revealed to have effectively discovered the secret to immortality, by placing her soul inside a wax sculpture. She later uses this skill to place just a fraction of her spirit into Dud's body, to give him the knowledge needed to help Poppy save Paraffin. | |
