In the basement (which door has more scratch marks on) there’s many different paintings, all depicting an entity that is slightly different in each (different features, sex, horns, etc), but always tall with long nails and a paralyzed expression, and a child.

My attention is oddly drawn to this bit of a fly stuck in the sink. It can’t fly anymore, and it barely moves away from her hand, so she’s crushes it almost as a way to put it out of its misery.

I’m cringing so hard at this weird mimicking game where they ask her to mimic Jake, and then Jake mimics her and he can apparently perfectly mimic her mannerisms. Jake is also acting really cold towards everyone

Love when characters aren’t hungry and they just describe their meal in a very unappetizing sounding way

Girly just met his parents and the mom is just listing off every symptom she has, “oh yeah, I have tinnitus, and I hear voices. Do you know about sleep paralysis? It’s real debilitating.”

Jake got weirdly defensive about the creepy door

“What if suffering doesn’t end with death?”

All stories, even recounted ones, are fiction. Reality only happens once

Is it even possible for someone to be labeled “the smartest person in the world” since there is so many different types of intelligence?

“Thought is closer to truth, to reality, than action.”
