** It's a possible posthumous [=CMoA=] for Trench too, who was eaten by the Hiss and at the start committed suicide with the Service Weapon. In the lyrics of the song, Trench laments his poor choices which led to the corruption of the House, and wishes he could spare Jesse from the pain -- and, quite possibly, the Ashtray Maze hears him and responds.

** What follows is even more incredible. The Hiss, a supernatural infectious force with both tremendous subtlety and tremendous power, which was capable of even corrupting ''the Board itself'' once it got a pawn into the Astral Plane, got cleansed by Jesse. No backup from Hedron. Not some inhuman, external force. Jesse and Jesse Polaris, the 'instance' of Polaris catalyzed out of Jesse -- that is still, ultimately, ''part of Jesse'' and shares her name -- personally under their own power as solo parautilitarians get into a direct psychic conflict with an extradimensional horror on ''its'' terms and [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu win]].

* Meta example: after nine years of nary a word, the game's hints at [[VideoGame/AlanWake a certain someone]] coming back (the Typewritten Page, the promo art for ''AWE'' referencing ''Alan Wake'''s cover art) can be very gratifying for fans.



* The AWE expansion is also this on a meta level for Alan Wake fans. At the time of its release in 2020, Remedy had been planning an Alan Wake sequel for almost a decade, with both ''Alan Wake's American Nightmare'' and ''VideoGame/QuantumBreak'' starting from that idea before [[ExecutiveMeddling being forced]] to repurpose it into a new concept. Within the game, we learn Alan had spent a decade unsuccessfully trying to write his way out of the Dark Place, and the events of ''Control'' were heavily influenced by his writings as part of this plan, with the ending showing the Bright Falls AWE is set to reactivate some time in the [[SequelHook near future]].
