Oh Matthew :(

Ts is crazy. Okay, so a backrooms situation with memory loss/madness magic sprinkled in. Safe to assume Ketterley is consistently traveling between the normal world and the House. The climax of this story will be violent I’m sure. Which one of these names belong to “Piranesi”? Both Laurence and Ketterley are pieces of shit, great. I hope our mc has a happy ending whether it’s inside or outside of the House.

Genuinely what is going on. The Other is hiding way too much. Are the multivitamins actually memory loss pills or something? Did Laurence write to the Other? Or is the Other Laurence writing to another Paranesi so to speak? Is this a backrooms or parallel universe type situation? So many questions, so intrigued, and I’m hopping right back into part 3.

Oh the albatross is literal. I wonder how the Other reacted to them being here, because he should’ve met with Piranesi by now right? Also the conversation was interesting. The Other is interesting. And scary. Unclear how much more he knows in comparison to Piranesi, or if he’s just as lost as he is.

Was first attracted by the cover and title, minimalistic yet very whimsical and weirdly foreboding. Complete word vomit I just made there but it’s true. For the first few pages I was thrown off by the writing because I wasn’t expecting heavy descriptions from a journal-esque perspective. But curiosity has quickly overpowered any initial distaste I had for the writing style. I’m so in for the mystery.
