View source for User:Sbeve/Why Wilfre is Click's son

In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter and Two Realms there is a character named Click. If you’re reading this you probably remember Click but if you don’t he’s an old man from the Galactic Jungle. He is secretly arresting Raposa because the previous mayor died with no one to rule, Click needed stability so he pretends that there was a council while he made up strange laws. Later, Wilfre suggested that Click build a Space Fortress in order to keep up the act. After this The Hero, Jowee and Sock (Who is Wilfre in disguise) visit and after a lot of antics find out the truth and convince Click to give up the act. 

Now that I reminded everyone who Click is I’m going to tell you that there’s something deeper going on with him, and something while it isn’t stated has a pretty big impact on how he is viewed and his role in the story. After looking at Click’s dialogue along with other stuff I firmly believe that Click is Wilfre’s father. 

At first glance this might seem completely insane, since there is zero evidence, however there is. Firstly let’s cover a compelling piece of evidence, the fact that Click knows who Wilfre is. Now knowing someone does not make that person your son. 
But you have to remember that Wilfre is very secretive, he doesn’t reveal himself to the people he manipulates, choosing to disguise as Salem. Though Click mentions Wilfre directly.

Why would Wilfre approach Click without a disguise? Wouldn’t he want to not get caught? However, if you view Wilfre as Click’s son it makes sense. Click would obviously trust Wilfre to help him since he would’ve known Wilfre all his life and would care for him deeply. Also note how casually Click mentions Wilfre. He doesn’t say something along the lines of “This stranger named Wilfre” he mentions his name without having to say who he was, this makes sense if he’s his father. He would’ve mentioned his name a lot of times, it’s clearly a force of habit. Finally he didn’t mention Wilfre’s shadow form or was shocked by it meaning that he must have been swear if it

Afterwards Jowee mentions Wilfre’s name and Click is surprised that he knows Wilfre.
Again, Wilfre is casually mentioned by Click with him asking he they know him. He doesn’t inquire about who Wilfre is or where he’s from. If Wilfre was just some guy who showed up Click would have question but again, Click would know all this stuff about Wilfre if he’s his father.

Next up there is Wilfre’s behaviour in Galactic Jungle, as I established he takes up the disguise as Sock so for simplicity I’ll refer to him as Wilfre. So throughout the world Wilfre keeps telling Jowee that they should leave and go back to the ship. Why would he want that? While you could argue that restoring colour to the world could be bad for his scheme I have another idea. Though this part is mostly speculative, what if Wilfre doesn’t like the idea of Jowee and the Hero confronting Click and them telling the truth about him.

Admittedly he does say this on Lavasteam as well though.

It is worth pointing out that Wilfre does not go in the council room to confront Click. It would make sense if he revealed himself to Click in front of hero and Jowee but he didn't, if he did Click would be happy to see his son, not a very effective intimidation method. 

Now I'm going to talk about how this could make sense given the backstory of the games. Firstly I'm going to explain why the bacstory  makes sense if Wilfre is Click's son. What happened in between TNC and TR is tricky though we do know that the incidents in Watersong and Lavasteam happened shortly before TNC began, though the events in GJ happened years before the first game began.

Thinking about it from a storyline perspective doesn't make much sense having GJ happen years before unless Wilfre had a connection to the place, him being Click's son gives that connection. 
On the subject of the GJ, is what he did, really evil?. He helped Click by suggesting the Space Fortress be built. Bad advice I know. But if Wilfre is Click's son it makes sense, Wilfre would've grown up there. Meaning that it sense that Wilfre would try to do good there. Alongide this, Wilfre attempts to destroy Watersong by killing Rose, and destroy Lavasteam using the Robosa. Wilfre doesn't attempt to destory GJ, he attempts to help it, as I mentioned before. Since Wilfre likes to destroy stuff wouldn't he do something to destroy it? Wilfre, being Click's son would have no reason to destroy the city. Now I'm going to bring up a detail that may be relevant

It is implied that Click isn't from GJ. This could explain why Wilfre doesn't act like a GJ resident, he was either raised there by a father who isn't a native, or Click moved somewhere else after Wilfre became an adult. I like to think the latter. Lastly on this section I'm touching on the themes of DtL and how GJ is an outlier unless you consider my theory. Drawn to Life has themes of family throughout the games. The first game focuses on the Mayor and his daughter Mari, Watersong has Miles and his mother Rose, Lavasteam has Miney and his brother Moe and the end of the game has Mike waking up from a coma and reuniting with his sister. All these family members have Wilfre casuing conflict with them. Wilfre murdered the mayor, he stole Rose's voice, made Miney turn evil and put Mike into a coma. The only word lacking these themes is the GJ, unless you tkae in to account my theory, then it makes perfect sense. WIlfre caused issues with other peoples family members, it makes perfect sense for the penultimate world to have him revealed to caused problems with his own family.

Finally, I'm going to mention miscellaneous details that hint towards this theory

The Book art and World icon feature black pawns in the background. While yes, WW is an almalgamation of the worlds, the pawns are the only architecture of another world shown on the world screen. It's also intresting that they're dark pawn. Since I brought up other evidence above this is likley a hint towards Wilfre being Click's son. Both the GJ and WW have angry faces everywhere.

The Wizard of Oz thing in the council room looks like Wilfre's shadow form, the Wizard of Oz thing that's controlled by Click

Wilfre's boss battle shows him on a floating cloud with an angry face and a crown on top.

[[File:Theory Image 10.png]] 

There is a crown depicted on the top of an angry face, a symbol heavily associated with Click, as I mentioned before. The Crown looks similar to the queen crown used in chess, which is a motif in GJ. Wilfre was the one who told Miney to become a king, so he knew what one was, him giving himself a crown is more evidence that he's from GJ, since he would know what a queen and king are if he's from there. Since Mayors are the rulers of vilagers it's unlikley what the Raposa outside the GJ would know what one is. WIlfre was even the one to tell Miney what a king was.

Wilfre while disguised as sock has the same type of clothes as Click does. This is a hint towards Wilfre being Click's son since Wilfre would've gotten those clothes from somewhere.

This is my final part, I think I found all evidence, unless there is something in the art book. One of Wilfre's lines in the final boss is very similar to a line from Click.
 
[[File:Theory Image 12.png]]

After looking at the dialogue from Click and Wilfre, I've think I figured out what they  mean. Wilfre’s lines show a common hatred for Raposa following the creator, instead wanting Raposa to rule themselves. In addition. One his lines is similar to a line from Click. Click says “We needed someone to lead us. Our lives needed structure, rules, someone to guide and protect us” while Wilfre says “They are too busy looking out for themselves, risking everything for flame and glory, hoarding resources and writing rules to protect the structure instead of the life it was meant to protect” This shows that Click and Wilfre have a similar mindset when it comes to this sort of stuff, they both have interests involving the safety of Raposa in front of basic structure, shown when Click makes people subject to crazy laws. Wilfre was also the one who suggested that the space fortress should be created, so he can keep up the act of the council and further their shared interests. Since Wilfre has a unique view on authority, he must’ve gotten it from somewhere, and since he already has a connection to Galactic Jungle he probably got it from Click, who considering the other evidence above Click is most likely his father.
