But you are not taking into account that strange scene at the beginning of the game, and those strange dreams... it seems that there is something or someone watching the protagonist... from within him. And there was an accident from which the protagonist survived and was in a coma. I believe that those things have something to do with the power he has, and explain the reason why his powers have not yet manifested, or that it seems. I bet that the protagonist's powers are more telepathic... and they are about migration and occupation of bodies or absorbing other people's minds into his own.
