After reading the latest pages of Chapter 9 (021-030), I still believe the strongest candidate for the Voice is Ryan.Hereâs why, even after the new doubts:
Knowledge level is too personal
The Voice knows her exact routine, when Shyam is sleeping, which lingerie she owns, the layout of the house, and the perfect timing to send packages only when Ryan is away. A random guy from Shyamâs office or a pure outsider wouldnât have this kind of precise, long-term surveillance without being noticed.
Emotional control in Chapter 9
Calling her feelings for Faris âmelancholyâ and forcing her into a reverse glory hole specifically to hunt for Farisâs dick is not the behaviour of a professional pimp or a casual pervert. This is possessive, jealous, and psychological. It feels like someone who is deeply invested in controlling her sexuality and doesnât want her forming real attachments to other men. That fits a son who is both the architect of her transformation and someone who is emotionally entangled in it.
Timing from the very beginning
Everything started when Ryan began spending more time outside the house. The first packages, the first commands â all of it lines up with him being the one who set the system in motion.
The author saying âno incestâ doesnât kill the theory
Ryan can be the mastermind, the voyeur, and the one arranging everything without the story ever showing full mom-son sex. Many comics keep the son as the hidden puppeteer while avoiding (or delaying) the actual incest.
Iâm not saying itâs 100% confirmed. The latest pages did make some people (including me a little) question it, because the Voiceâs tone feels more mature and calculated than a typical teen. Thatâs why the Ryan + Ivan theory is also strong â two young guys working together would explain both the personal knowledge and the access to older men.But right now, after everything from Chapter 1 to these new pages, Ryan (alone or with help) is still the most logical answer. Everything else requires bigger leaps.Curious to hear if the new pages changed anyone elseâs mind, or if youâre still on the son theory like me.
