Do you guys think that burning dude in hospital hallwy could be Volgin? Or Somekind of reincarnation of him? Because he couldn't survive the event of snake eater. But he really looks like him. I know there are threats about the theory that that levitating kid is Psycho Mantis and that Ishmael is a hallucination.

What if the kid is Psycho Mantis and the burning Volgin is a hallucination like Ishmael. And that all the other cracy things we saw like the flamed unicorn and whale are hallucinations too. Like the kid Mantis made BB hallucinate all those things. Maybe even the whole invasion to the hospital is actually a hallucination. Than there would be the question what he is doing that for. Maybe to get BB back on track, i dont know. Maybe the kid is leading BB through his hallucinations he had becaus of the splinter in his head to get used to it without having hallucinations anymore.

Another theory I have in mind is, that all these things I said are in fact not really hallucinations but a dream BB is dreaming while still in coma. What if the Mantis kid makes BB dream all that stuff to make him wake up out of his coma. The cutscene were the doctor tells BB that he has been in a coma for 9 years is actually after everything we will expirience in that invation. Maybe the Mantis kid is send by Ocelot to make BB wake up. And later Mantis will be recruited to join Foxhound where, as we all know, Mantis will end up. I admid that this is inconsistend to that horsechase, but still. It can still be dreamed, like the kid lets BB know by whom he is send. In that case even riding with ocelot through the woods would be dreamed too. But BB knew than with whom to catch up after leafing the hospital. I mean after 9 years of coma, BB could get fixed (his arm) and simply leave the hospital.

Dont you think its odd, that in the E3 2013 trailer many character are introduced, like "those who dont exist", but not a word or picture of the weird supernatural appearances or Ishmael? But unfortunatlý even nor word or picture of the assumed Mantis.

What does the wiki-community think?
