I do not think so. Ellie loves me, right? She wouldn't play dumb with me like that. especially since I explained everything to her and apologized. if she had been seriously offended by me, she would never have ride on my dick. no. she was really quiet. but Jada helped her - her voice cut through.
always look for logic! there is a certain logic even in games with "crazy grain" like 23 sisters and the like - for example, My New Family (there is a girl with cat features).
and Ellie's behavior has its own logic. especially since a psychologist works with her. the psychologist is more trained and trained to look for the slightest inconsistencies in the behavior of patients. Ellie is weird but logical in her weirdness.
even if Ellie was playing the game, she was playing with Rachel, not with me. She would explain everything to me. she would have hugged me, covered my mouth with her hand so that I would not cry out in surprise and would explain everything in my ear. but it wasn't. it means a logical conclusion - she did not speak at that time.
Ok, let's take Ellie's case and break it down. At some point after MC was forced to leave the house, Ellie ran away or went missing for a while. When she was later found, she was physically unharmed yet had lost the capacity for speech. The obvious conclusion is that something happened to her during the time she was missing that traumatized her to such a degree she can't speak about it or anything even remotely related to it. And, in her traumatized mind,
everything could be related to the trauma event so she doesn't speak at all.
Fast forward to when the so-called therapist has been hired to help Ellie: Ellie does
not like it when she visits. After, what is apparently multiple months of sessions and treatments, there is
zero improvement in getting Ellie to speak. Conclusion there being that the therapist is just going through the motions and milking Racheal for as much money as she can. Point Two regarding the therapist: she is abnormally and uncharacteristically rude to MC on first meeting him and refuses to really answer any of the questions MC has for her regarding how she's treating Ellie. Confidentially aside, she
could've said that her methods and techniques were slowly eliciting results. Instead, she verbally attacks the MC as being the sole source and cause of Ellie's condition. Also, she remains continually hostile and atavistic towards MC during subsequent visits.
Somehow, some way, Jade has become Ellie's best friend and is able to communicate with her exceedingly well. Apparently, Jade is able to reach Ellie better than the therapist can. This is very telling. It shows that Ellie
does communicate in some way with others in a very coherent and understandable manner.
But ONLY those she deems worthy of such communication. MC hasn't been back long enough yet for Ellie to put them in that loftily trusted position
yet. When she does, it is entirely possible that there are secrets regarding Racheal and others that many people do
not want her revealing. Ergo why there is no progress being gleaned from the therapist's visits.
There is a bit of conjecture that the psychotropic medication Racheal is taking is somehow connected or related to what happened to Ellie when she went missing. It will be exceedingly interesting to see how all of this evolves and possibly discover what really happened to Ellie during the time she was missing.
