the children appear normal. Yet there exists a shadow behind each of their actions, connected to the central figure depicted in that initial encounter. Whether this is because of tension already existing between the siblings or the influence of the figure is unknown and has been a source of debate, but the interactions of the children appear to play a great role in the piecemeal observations that have been seen so far5. Wesley, in particular, gazes deeply into a wall on occasion in some scenes6. When probed later about why he has done so, he offers no response at all. His attention is seemingly captured entirely by white paint and unremarkable fixtures: gone are the lego blocks and cards, replaced with what only can be described by an endless white void. The others do not attempt to move him from his position facing the north in their living room, motionless and silent until mealtimes, where he returns to a state similar to that in the initial observations. Upon finishing the meal, he returns to the floor in the living room once more and maintains his continued watch of the wall. Taylor, in particular, looks at him with apparent reverence and awe; perhaps she views him as a living deity when he is in this state. Kayla7 does not. Despite the erratic nature of Wesley’s habits, the more distressing events appear to be centred among Kayla. Gone is the child seen in earlier versions who repeats words and encourages others to compliment her; instead remains something that appears darker. In the myth of Eris, a deity of strife recounted by Proclus in the Kypria, is said to have thrown down an apple for the fairest and instigated the Trojan War. It is apparent Kayla does the same. There are scenes in which she habitually steals items from the others to instigate fights, and her expression during the eventual apologies and return of these items appears to one of repressed spite. Her gaze becomes noticeably colder as time progresses, and it is never made clear why8. Records of her progression are sparse and of poor quality, and what has been recovered is negligible. In one scene, she robs Taylor of a portrait of a man (whose identity is later identified as Francis from her screams, though no mention of this Francis is ever made again) and burns it on the stove. When Taylor comes to her and demands a response, she steadfastly replies: “I did what I thought was right.” There appears to be no remorse in her voice, no uncertainty about her answer. Where once there was one who might admit to wrongs, Kayla’s emotions appear to have been sealed off entirely. Taylor raises her voice, but the sound of something falling and breaking can be heard. Both girls exit the room for a brief moment. Taylor returns holding a chandelier, shattered and broken, but immediately disappears soon after. The reason for her disappearance is unknown, and she does not return at any point later in the observation. Nevin (2001) proposes that her disappearance is due to transient ripples in space-time9, as evidenced from the flickering
5 Funny story, really. While I was shredding some of the papers today, I noticed that there were some with actual words on them. Not some lettering or all black. I don’t have the faintest clue what all of this is, but there’s tons of it. I’m beginning to think that this guy’s sofa is not stuffed with anything but these sheets. There’s so many of them. Maybe I should call in some professionals to clean this shit up. I figure it’s probably some weird avant-garde project or something, because half of this shit is stuff I’ve never heard of. Observations?. Dude was creepy, I guess. Even though he’s long gone, he’s still giving me the fucking shivers. God, this place is such a fucking death trap. When I read over some of this stuff, I couldn’t help but feel cold. I’m not one for pouring through pieces of some dead guy’s shit, but it’s something about being in here, something. Something?? Fuck if I know. The papers all have this real cold, clinical tone to them, like you’re sitting in a doctor’s office, but it’s not from the words on the page. It’s like you touch this shit and you’ve entered a deep freeze cooler; like your very being has slowed down and stopped and your mind and every synapse and molecule of your body has ceased to function entirely because everything is at absolute zero. I don’t know how to explain this. Am I making sense? Clem dropped by today to tell me that Don’s got himself in some real shit this time. Apparently the police caught him on one of his joyrides through town. Clem was real damn ambivalent about all of it, and I don’t know why he came to tell me this. At least he bought me some gin. I think I need it. 6 Some thoughts now that I have stable internet again:
Uh, I'm pretty positive that I know who the intermission poster is with 90% certainty (not from my role or anything, just simply from the content of the intermission; when I did my fastest skim-read last night, I had a vague idea, but I'm pretty certain now). I haven't the faintest idea of what the intermission means in terms of what it does, gameplay wise, though I have I guess a few ideas on what it could be. I'm not going to say I think who they are (I'm pretty certain I know who it is though) unless they're okay with it, though (esp. if the intermission turns out to be something more than Life Advice) since atm the... intermission seems pretty benign in nature + I have no reason to suspect that it's a ~mafia intermission~ as of yet
I admit that when I saw chi's post involving Japanese lyrics I immediately wondered if she was one of the mangas mentioned in rollover (assuming they're not decoys or something) but i googled the song and nothing comes up in terms of anime ED/OPs. though I find her denying her posting it curious LOL it reminds me of last lit maf with starberry's role where anyone who got the boost had to vehemently deny that they got the boost because chuunibyou... then again chi literally posted a picture of a banana man a few pages ago, so it/the lyrics could also be something completely random
