Had no plans to add Romeo to my nonsense AU but naturally I ended up thinking about what I'd even do with him if rez'd… So here is a slightly unpalatable bitter young man. But variety is the spice of life.
(Just give it some time though Romeo is chronically friendly and soon enough he'll bond with even that bastardized brat)
The twins are [adults] and P can lock down Carlo himself if he gets too unruly so there's really no need for anyone to look after them but what can I say Geppetto has issues.

guys.
I think I did it.
I think I cracked Lies of P.
(me rn)
i keep going back and forth on carlo's death.
i know i was adamant before, on him dying from the petrification disease. i think logically he would have to have had it because of ergo.
but here's another weird point about his death,
i just realized why we intrinsically think he was killed.
Carlo is wearing his school uniform when his stalker finds him, and on the floor at that. That's quite odd. Maybe not being on the floor, but the uniform. Why the uniform?
"He didn't even come to your graduation?"
For the son of an aristocratic family, would this be the image of a deathly ill son in care? Did Geppetto know? Wouldn't he be in palliative care, as Lady Antonia could afford?
Why wear the uniform after graduating?
"Oh, she's here! Grab her!"
"...Gemini, get rid of them! I'm off!"
Was his death literally right after his graduation, on the same day?
And also, Gemini is a little lamp guy. (She doesn't look to be carrying the lamp.) Why does she tell him to take care of the boys? What can he even do? Tell them off?
Here's another funny thing... We NEVER see Carlo outside of his school uniform. (at least, in the "past", "real" Carlo time line).
And as we know, the school uniform has a prominent Sailor collar, the type that is associated with nautical outfits [down to the three stripes, supposedly called a "naval collar"]. The Graduation pendant that he gives to Romeo is of an anchor. [I know that these are all artifacts of the charity house. but they are nonetheless associated in tangent with Carlo]
When we find Carlo's painting, it's right next to this one of a ship. [also, two bottles on the counter, perhaps representing the "two lives" of Carlo and Pino]
also... when Carlo's memories materialize... it's in the sand. Only on the seaside.
Remember, Romeo seems to be associated with a fire element, and Pino with water, the same seems to go with Carlo. The original novel of Pinocchio itself seems to have a strange fixation on the ocean.
And now, might I present to you:
The DLC images are also of a ship and some kind of water turbine.
Director Choi (in pre-release interview): "I'll put it this way: there are more stories I want to tell in Lies of P, so I hope [it] does well."
Also: "There sure are stories we could not introduce in the game" (talking about the story being adapted into another form)
[basically, that there was more to the story than what was really present in the final game.] I'll leave all this to your consideration without adding my own just yet. (I'll add it in a reblog on my own blog without tagging it) Just kidding I want to keep wasting everyone's time
Perhaps after the events of the game,
This is some sort of effort by Pino to either learn more about the deceased Carlo or try to remember his "previous life" as Carlo, by taking to the sea.
Maybe even after the game, Pino will STILL attempt to "awaken" as him so to speak [:(].
[Maybe he actually will.]
Again, Carlo is strongly associated with nautical elements. Again, he is never seen outside of a sailor suit, basically. Also, when we gain the memories of Carlo, they materialize on the sand, at the seaside. Remember, he DIED in the sailor outfit
Maybe we are to take the "sand memories" more "literally" as they are in the sand?
Did Carlo drown and his body wash ashore, which is why these memories materialize in the sand? Why is he so associated with ships?
Pino is also depicted in the water, remember, including what looks to be concept art that was used for the OST? Maybe it isn't "just" a motif? [even simple things like his "official" coat and his eyes being blue, blue blood's tailcoat, and him being associated with the colour blue in general]
Which is why Pino is pictured in the water, since he was "born" from Carlo's death... He was birthed in the water the same way Carlo died in it?

Something disturbing that has entered my mind is Carlo killing everyone in 'The Real Boy'. I believe deep inside it is somehow him... Just the tiniest spark... But everything else is a puppet (mind) version of him with the trust and faith in his father. Or rather his puppetter...
Imagine him killing everyone while smiling. He smiles so brightly, I mean this is what his dad wanted, this is the right thing.... But why does he cry anyway. Why do tears roll down his cheeks, why does his eyes feel so watery, why does he wanted to scream and cry instead of smile.
Deep down... Carlo and P want it all to stop. But he can't...
Since he is Geppetto's puppet.

I was gonna have Omp's human form, but probably not, so I drew her imp form instead 😔
A dark doodle but also some ideas for some fancomics. Based on a small quick lore I did in Omp's character sheet post.
Post-Real Boy ending:
Not only have you obtained the Arm of God from Simon Manus, but you have the puppet's strange companion. Geppetto may have gained immortality for his son, but his curiosity grew for Omp's origin. To rid of the disease in Krat, he would also attempt to control Omp's powers. But, in order to do so, his son "Carlo" would manipulate the creature's loyalty for the old man's gain.
Omp questions herself whether her old friend was still inside this twisted version of him, or maybe not at all.
