    Anne Everett

    Part 1 · St Jeoire

    Anne watches the sun rise with a cigarette while Louis struggles out of bed, and asks whether he has taken his pills: she spent the night watching him sleep and thinks his treatment is working. She points him to his diary for the code to his safe and gets him to unblock the bath.

    Louis drives her to the village. On the way she tells him they must talk that evening, because she has something very important to tell him. She is seeing Astrid after work, which Louis doesn’t like.

    Part 3 · Back in St Jeoire

    When Louis comes back from Paris, Anne is gone. Félicienne says she has left the phone off the hook; the neighbours say Louis beat her; Astrid says Anne had discovered something and become obsessed with it. Louis finds her tape recorder hidden in the village dairy.

    In the cave beneath San Lazzaro, Louis sees a woman who looks exactly like Anne about to be sacrificed. She screams, and he blacks out.

    Part 5 · Anne’s trail

    A woman’s body is found in the Love Woods, her eyes and mouth sewn shut, and Anne is buried. Louis realises it isn’t her: Anne had dyed her hair red before she disappeared. She has left him photographs hidden in the toilet cistern, leading to his mother’s apartment in Paris.

    Gisèle, the caretaker there, remembers Anne as a strange child with an adult’s stare who went to Italy alone, had an accident to her head and lost her memory. She saw Anne again recently with a man with a ponytail and a red-haired woman, on their way to the EXIT. The hotel clerk remembers the couple too: they always took room 315.

    Through a crack in a door in Saint Arman’s apartment, Louis hears Anne interrogating a man tied to a radiator, asking what “he” is planning for Louis. Saint Arman tells him she and he were never lovers, only allies against Belleville, and that she let Belleville believe she was on his side.

    Louis finds her beside Belleville at the edge of a lava lake beneath the Isle of the Dead. She tells him she did what she had to. Suddenly she throws herself at Belleville. In the struggle a shot goes off, Belleville falls into the lava, and Anne has been hit.

    Dying, she tells Louis she found the exit and came back for him, that she meant to stage her own disappearance to make him question his life but Belleville got there first. She gives him her pendant and makes him promise to set them both free.

    On the Damocles, Louis finds her in the tube next to his. The doctors tell him the electrical surge Anne caused to end the simulation damaged her tube, and that she drowned in the cryogenic liquid.

    Description

    Fade has no character list, so this description is the archive’s own, written from the game’s scripts.

    Anne Everett · Age unknown, married

    Louis’ wife: up before him every morning with her inevitable cigarette, fond of him, nosy and always with the last word. She has been seeing a fortune teller, Astrid, and has something important she wants to tell her husband.

    Trivia

    • Her tombstone spells her name “Anne EVERET” and reads “Dans le repos trouve l’éveil de ton âme”: “in rest, find your soul’s awakening”.
    • Astrid calls her the “Queen of hearts”, a nickname between them.
    • The game never says who the woman in the Love Woods is. The game’s own recap calls the woman on the altar at San Lazzaro “a clone of Anne”.
