If anything it will benefit the lonely child as then the imaginary friend has less chance of being lynched on suspicion of being a mafia.I am not sure what any of you think (well someone mentioned it), but it would be quite useful if the lonley child told us if Vatu is the imaginary friend or not. For the lonely child it does not really matter, since they will win if town wins or if he and the imaginary friend have a majority at the end. The first of those win conditions seems more likely to happen, but that is just, like, my opinion.
That is ofcourse, if that does not result in people getting modkilled.
