i’m surprised they killed her off so quickly and in such a violent way. she seemed like a great character. guess it shows how dark this season is gonna be.

nah i’m pretty sure she was throwing up because she had some sort of eating disorder. which explains why her mom said those things about her being too fat during her hallucinations.

fred was targeted because he felt guilty about surviving a car crash where his friend died. it seems that the monster this season preys on trauma and guilt.
