Little Brothers

"This is a Little Brother therapy room. They were supposed to be like Little Sisters, but they were a failed experiment. Little Brothers were supposed to be aggressive, so they couldn't be used for gathering."

―Rinaldo Tjan, Level Architect, 2K Marin;Deco Devolution Artbook

Little Brothers are mentioned in the Inner Persephone section of the Deco Devolution Artbook. The concept art for them is vague, showing one sitting in a Therapy bed with the plastic covering surrounding it. There seems to be a business name printed on the plastic, and bloodstains within said plastic. He is simply sitting by a light inside, blankly. An image of one of the shown concepts can be seen in the Gallery, below.
