For the life of me I couldn't see the old Anita dating Phillip. Back in 1991 the (fictional) girl had some balls. If Phillip had survived his encounter with the vamps, and the real LKH had been writing the story, Anita would have kicked Phillip out of her life for being too damn damaged. Now that LKH has been replaced with emo author she's going back and retconning Anita's emotions.
