For Brian Bradley's sister, see Mila.

Mila Evans is a recurring character in the Kyle Hyde Saga. She first appears in Hotel Dusk: Room 215 as a mysterious mute young woman who has come to Hotel Dusk. Dunning Smith and Rosa Fox have agreed to let Mila stay for the night and get her situation sorted out in the morning.

In Hotel Dusk: Room 215, she comes to the hotel to search for her missing father, Robert Evans. As of 1960, her mother Mary Evans, passed away in a plane crash when her daughter was a toddler. Mila fell into coma for ten years after she was attacked by an agent of Nile, a crime syndicate her father had ties to. When she awoke, her father had disappeared and she became mute as a result of the trauma.

In Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, it is revealed that she is attending a fine arts school in Seattle and has befriended Kyle Hyde and Rachel.

Appearance[]

In Hotel Dusk: Room 215, Mila is wears a white dress, blue turquoise shoes and a black choker. She has pale skin and pale blue eyes. She also has straight light blonde hair with bangs on the front, which goes down to her back. During her childhood, she wore a large white dress, similar to the one she wears as a young adult and had a flower hair pin.

In Last Window: Secret of Cape West, Mila wears a pale blue turquoise dress with a dark gray jacket. She wears her black choker from the first game. Her hair has a darker shade and she has a more noticeable fringe.

Due to her tranquil personality, Mila is often portrayed with neutral and calmer expressions. In the first game, whenever she remembers her past, she is seen with more "emotional" expressions.

Personality[]

Hotel Dusk: Room 215[]

When she makes her arrival at the Hotel Dusk, Mila shows a very quiet and socially withdrawn demeanor, being seemingly "emotionless" and distant with people. This led Kyle to think that she was possibly deaf, but is corrected by Rosa, the maid of the hotel, declaring him that Mila can hear very well. Due to Mila's apparent connection to Bradley, Kyle gets interested, often trying to communicate with her to ask her about her past. On the other hand, after noticing that Mila does not have money nor even relatives to call to register herself into the hotel, Rosa takes care of her and lets her stay in her own room.

Mila writing

Mila's replies.

Mila's inability to speak and her mysterious background tends to make her isolated from the rest and misunderstood by other people. The only person who tried to talk appropriately with her was Kyle, using a little notebook to communicate with her. Her father's past and current state is a sensitive subject for her. After getting in a misunderstanding with Rosa about it, she left her room and decided to go to the rooftop of the hotel to spend some time alone. Eventually, she opens up about when Dunning Smith takes her to talk privately about it. She wrote about her father in Kyle's notebook when he asked her questions. Later on, she was able to speak and also briefly talked about her late mother. She didn't know about her father's death at that point or how she got that bracelet she wears (Mila thought Robert gifted her that and slipped it onto her wrist while being in a comatose state but it turned out to be Bradley when he visited her at the Robbins Memorial Hospital).

It's later revealed that Mila's muteness is a result of her past trauma. When she recovers her voice, she speaks with a quiet tone, but is shown to not have much difficulties to express herself. According to the flashbacks, Mila was a happy and polite kid. Despite losing her mother at a young age and her father's secret connection with Nile, she lived a normal childhood and also had a good relationship with her father Robert.

Because she spent ten years in a coma since she was a child, Mila's withdrawn demeanor has somewhat childlike traits, such as referring to her father as "Papa", called her mother "Mama" and having an innocent and introverted attitude in general. She also shows a reckless demeanor due to this, such as going all alone to Hotel Dusk with no money to register herself and lacking the confirmation that her father was actually there.

When Dunning rejects to tell the truth about her father in front of her, she gets frustrated and emotional and tries to explain that, like him with his daughter Jenny, she was willing to go far to know what really happened, despite her difficult circumstances. When Dunning tells the truth about Robert's actions, she is very surprised and finds it unbelievable that her father could do something like that. She felt stressed and down after learning the truth, and had trouble sleeping the whole night. The next morning, she is shown to be feeling better and if the player goes to visit Rosa's room, it's possible to hear Mila talking with Rosa and asking her about Kyle staying in the hotel. In two of the endings, Mila decides to go with Kyle to L.A and they become friends. However in one ending, she stays at the hotel and doesn’t come out of Rosa's room.

Last Window: The Secret of Cape West[]

A year after the events of the first game, Mila becomes an art student. Just like Kyle, her personality changed for the better after the whole case with Hotel Dusk and her past was resolved. She still is quiet and reserved, but in general she seems to be more relaxed and stable, especially when she is around her friends. She gets along with Kyle and also Rachel and is very interested in spending time with them in the Christmas holiday. Both and Kyle and Mila appreciate each other's company, and Kyle reassures her that she will never be alone. Mila also likes to show Kyle her artwork and even got to make a portrait of him as a gift. She also asks him to make a portrait of her in exchange.

Background[]

Airport

Mila in the airport with her father and the Smiths.

Mila's mother, Mary Evans, died in the Las Vegas plane crash of 1960. That incident reunited her father Robert Evans with Dunning Smith, a painter, who also lost his wife. They knew each other from college. Mila's father thought up the fictional painter "Osterzone" and wrote a book on him, with Dunning providing the art. The success of Osterzone's story and art got the two men noticed by the crime syndicate Nile. In 1969, Robert Evans bought Hotel Dusk in order to use it as a meeting ground for Nile, as well as a place where Dunning could secretly paint.

Young jeny

Mila and Jenny.

In 1969, when Mila was nine years old, her father invited Dunning to Hotel Dusk. Dunning brought his daughter with him, Jenny, who played together with Mila. Contrary to Evans' will, Dunning refused to continue painting. As a result, a Nile agent kidnapped Jenny in order to blackmail Dunning. Mila saw Jenny being taken away and tried her best to stop this, but she got attacked by Nile's members. This led her to fall into a coma. Afterwards, she was brought to the Robbins Memorial Hospital in Santa Monica, California. Evans regularly visited Mila at the hospital like clockwork.

After ten years, Mila awoke from her coma in 1979, albeit mute. Shortly before it happened, a man named Brian Bradley visited Mila. Bradley, a former New York detective, betrayed the police department to Nile as they took his younger sister, also named Mila, hostage and threatened to kill her. Even though he followed their instructions, he found his sister dead at the hands of Robert Evans.

Near the end of Hotel Dusk: Room 215, it is implied that Bradley took revenge at a later point and shot Evans. After Bradley presumably killed Evans, he visited Mila. He gave his sister's bracelet with the name "Mila" on it to Evans' daughter. When Mila finally awoke, she was unable to speak and lost a part of her memory. She waited for her father, but as he didn't come back, Mila eventually started to search for him on her own. The only piece of evidence that linked to Robert Evans was an old Hotel Dusk brochure that had been left by Bradley, which gave Mila a indication as to where he could be (since she saw him in that building before losing consciousness and he even owned the establishment).

Hotel Dusk: Room 215[]

Mila turns

Kyle sees Mila wandering the highway.

After she awakes from her coma for six months, Mila leaves the hospital, goes to Los Angeles somehow and walks alone on the highway to Hotel Dusk on December 28, 1979, in order to find some clues and information about her father. She carries no money or belongings with her, except an old brochure of the hotel. While walking alone on the highway, Kyle is seen driving past Mila. Some point later, the young man Jeff Angel notices Mila and picks her up by hitchhiking and drives her to Hotel Dusk as she gave him the hotel brochure.

Then, Mila arrives at the hotel shortly after Kyle does so. The hotel's maid Rosa Fox takes care of Mila by orders of Dunning Smith, as Mila didn't have any money to register herself into the hotel. Originally, Dunning wanted to call the police the next day, as Mila didn't have any relatives or any information about herself.

Mila talks

Mila regains the ability to speak.

During the course of the game, Kyle learns more about Mila's past step by step, eventually revealing the truth about her past and Bradley's actions. At one point, Mila becomes unconscious after remembering triggering memories about her past on Hotel Dusk when she was nine years old, but is revived by Kyle, and afterwards she suddenly is able to speak again.

Near the game's end, she is taken by Dunning Smith, now owner of Hotel Dusk, to the secret underground rooms that were used by Nile. There he asks Mila to tell him everything that happened on the night that Jenny was kidnapped, as Mila was the only person that was with her that night. Kyle eventually finds them, and after a longer dialogue, Dunning eventually tells the whole story about him and Robert Evans. He also reveals that he was told by Brian Bradley that Robert Evans will not return, implying he was killed.

On the next morning in Rosa Fox's room, Rosa tells Mila that she will continue to take care of her along with bellhop boy Louis DeNonno. However in two of the possible endings, shortly before Kyle wants to enter his car, Mila comes out of the hotel and asks him if she can come with him. After a moment, Kyle accepts and both go to L.A.

Last Window: The Secret of Cape West[]

In Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, Mila visits Kyle in the Cape West apartment building on December 24, 1980. She is now attending a fine arts school in Seattle and lives alone. Actually, Mila, Kyle and Rachel attempted to have a dinner together, but it can't take place because Red Crown's boss Ed Vincent had to be taken to the hospital. Nonetheless, she pays a short visit to him and goes on to the building's roof with Kyle. Unlike in Hotel Dusk, Mila doesn't play a central role in the plot.

Relationships[]

Robert Evans[]

In her childhood, she got along with her father, as he ended up being her only parent after the death of her mother. She seemed to be very happy with him and Robert usually would travel along with Mila as he preferred to take care of her. This made Mila accompany Robert on his business matters, such as meetings with Nile at Hotel Dusk. As she was only nine years old at that time, Mila didn't knew her dad's true intentions as she usually was left out when took care of his plans.

Nine years after the Hotel Dusk incident, after waking up from a coma, her first goal and motivation was to find her dad. Mila missed Robert and she would think of him constantly. She got mad when Rosa Fox commented about her dad, which led her to leave Rosa's room and go alone on the rooftop.

When Dunning Smith finally got to clear up things about Robert Evans, Bradley and Nile, Mila rejected Dunning's orders to leave the room believing that Mila would get hurt at listening her dad's true plans. Mila told him that the reason why she went to Hotel Dusk was to find her dad and that she really needed to know the truth. When she was listening the full story, Mila found herself in disbelief of her father's actions, asking herself why would her dad would do such things. Mila also discovered that Robert was dead. While it is not shown, it is implied that after discovering Robert's death and true plans left her unable to properly sleep the whole night as it left psychological stress on her.

Kyle Hyde[]

She met Kyle at Hotel Dusk's entrance. She could not physically speak to him but they ended up communicating through his notebook and her body language such as nods. Mila would often answers Kyle's questions about information that could be related to Bradley, such as her bracelet which was similar to the one that Bradley gave to his sister with the same name.

When Kyle got to prepare a Christmas tree on the Hotel, Mila attended along with Rosa. In that occasion, she got talk with him and she told him that she couldn't spend the Christmas Eve with her family, as she didn't have anyone present.

Later, when she, Kyle and Rosa went to Dunning's room, Mila was recalling painful memories of when she was attacked by one of Nile's men when she was nine years old, nine years ago in the same room. This made her lose consciousness, but was "revived" through CPR by Kyle or after poking her. After she recovered her voice, she could speak to him and Rosa.

When Kyle was leaving the hotel, it is possible to hear Mila asking Rosa if Kyle was leaving. Later, she goes out to ask him if she can come with him to Los Angeles (in two of the three endings) or stayed at Hotel Dusk (in one of the endings).

In Last Window, Mila is Kyle's friend. She got visit him on his apartment for Christmas. As a gift, she made a realistic drawing of him and she was interested in Kyle making one of him own for her. When they got to the rooftop, Kyle assured Mila that she would not be alone again.

Rosa Fox[]

Rosa got to take care of Mila when she went to the hotel. Mila didn't seem to get along with her at first. She misunderstood Rosa's comment about his dad, which made her to feel sad and mad. After they got on good terms again. When Mila told her whole story, Rosa felt bad for her. When Kyle was leaving the Hotel, it is possible to hear Rosa telling Mila that she can stay with her if she wants.

Jenny Smith[]

When she and her father visited the Hotel Dusk nine years ago, she got along easily with Jenny. When the members of Nile tried to capture Jenny (to blackmail Dunning) in front of Mila, she got very worried about her, and tried to do all that she could to stop it, resulting on her getting beat up by Nile's members. 10 years later, Mila (now 19) recalls the whole incident she had repressed due to the physical trauma, and she still recalls Jenny's unfortunate situation with worry and sadness. She also remembers vividly the short friendship they both had that night.

Rachel[]

After the events of Hotel Dusk, Mila became Rachel's friend. Both spent time together on Christmas.

Louis DeNonno[]

Mila frequently ignores Louis all the time as if she is not interested in what he has to say. She never knew that he had a crush on her. She isn't on bad terms with him though.
