But it's a damn good one, and explains the major issue of the Hospital's total lack of a Crest as well as Lisa's inability to leave. It doesn't conflict anything the developers have said.The Adversary wrote: >The idea that Lisa has free will is ludicrous. She's the Virun VII Crest of Alchemilla. She cannot leave the building. She's a prisoner.<
This is only a theory.

Not according to the developers.
What smirk?>There's no reason for the To School note other than a frightened child telling her father where she's going.<
There's no reason for Alessa to not do the same, to lead him on, to get him closer, and, if nothing else, to delay him. What's with that smirk anyway. . . ? Looks a little like a "Too late . . ." smirk.
Also, Alessa is not cruel. She has no reason to be so malicious as to jerk Harry around and torment him like a cat torments a mouse. Her goal is self preservation and stopping Dahlia. There's little room for cruelty there. Yes, I espouse that Alessa actively tries to kill Harry via the monsters, but there's a difference between murder in self defense and torture.
Aura: I think you've zeroed in on an important point: Alessa/Cheryl/Alessyl/Bert is in many ways like a split personality. The level 7 < level 14 analogy is not only funny but also apt. Also, given that Alessa is the source soul for Cheryl's, it makes sense that Cheryl as an incomplete half soul who never existed in a full human form would be subordinate to the other half of her soul: her "host" if you will.
The image of Alessa's photo that appears on the television is, to me, Cheryl trying to communicate to Harry "Daddy, it's ME! That girl you're chasing around for Dahlia is ME. Help me!"
Also important is the point that the internal Cheryl/Alessa conflict that exists demonstrably in Heather in SH3 confirms Cheryl's continuing existence. Heather has fond memories of her mother. I always have said that this sweet and gentle mother is a reference to Mrs. Mason.
By the end of SH3, I like to think that Alessa is dead, and Cheryl/Heather are the only remaining parts of Heather.
