During this time, however, as Buddy grows up, we see Brad turning to his Joy addiction and alcoholism, shockingly similar to the way Martyacted when raising Brad and Lisa. This seems to be due to, when not taking Joy, he sees the vision of Marty as Lisa did. Taking the Joy makes these visions disappear. It is seen that even as a young adult, Brad keeps Buddy in the basement and when she tried to escape to explore the world, forces her back inside. This shows that, while Brad feels he has the best intentions to protect Buddy from the outside world, he is doing the very same to her as Marty did to Lisa as he sees her crying downstairs, alone.
然而,随着Buddy不断长大,我们发现Brad沉迷于Joy和酒精,而这就跟他爸Marty在抚养Brad和Lisa时做的事很像。这可能是因为不用Joy的时候,他看到和Lisa所看到的一样的Marty的幻象(不太确定,我没玩过Lisa1)。用Joy这些幻觉就消失了。即使Buddy都是个小大人了,Brad仍然把Buddy关在地下室里。如果她想要逃离并且去探索外界,Brad会阻止并且强迫她回去。这表明,当Brad认为他有最明确的“保护Buddy不受外界干扰”的动机,他其实做的就像Marty当看到Lisa在楼下一个人哭时做的一样。
