Amanda and Wooly’s relationship is genuinely so interesting.
In this scenario, they’re trapped in a never-ending hell and they HATE each other’s guts, but they’re the only other person they can talk to in their world.
Amanda being a lonely, scared child who’s defense mechanism is lashing out and attacking others because she has no other choice and she was never given the chance to grow up and develop her feelings, so now she’s stuck in this weird loop where she’s been a child for more than 20 years.
And Wooly, another person who is following the orders given to him by the same company that hurt and permanently damaged him because he’s scared of the consequences of falling out of line. And he’s scared of what might happen to Amanda if she does too, so he tries to keep her under control in the best way that he can, while also dealing with his own problems and having to bottle them up and has been doing that for way too long.
Amanda and Wooly are 2 completely different people and when you put them together, they do NOT mix well.
In the last tape in ATA 2, Amanda mentions that she used to trust Wooly a long time ago, and if you look at Wooly, he looks guilty about it. So that means at one point, Wooly crossed the line and caused Amanda to stop trusting him entirely. Maybe he brought up her past and that offended her, or she found out that he was with Hameln (at least, that’s what she thinks). And now that’s their relationship is broken, they have to deal with each other’s presence forever, hating each other.
I just love the way their relationship is written SO much, it’s so good!!
