Regarding Half-Life canon...
Do you think Gordon threw away the can, threw it at the Metro cop, or some secret third option?

I personally think he didn't pick up the can, and instead noclipped through the Metro cop to the next room.
i mean if we're being real, the ending of alyx implies either a multiverse that gman can hop between to influence events at will, or the ability to time travel a la terminator by going into the past and changing the future.
option a, it's all 3 and every playthrough is a different universe. option b, a superposition of all 3 depending on what the player decides. either way all can identities are valid
