I wish I was a youtuber just so I could film myself playing The Evil Within 2 so everyone can witness the greatness.
So this man is actively trying to kill the character you play as and he also kidnapped your daughter and killed multiple people meaning you actively have reason to hate him and he is a terrible person but... hear me out-
Is he maybe a psychopath? Yeah probably. But like... he's just mansplain manipulate manwhore-ing his way through life and there's nothing wrong with that. He killed people? God forbid he has hobbies, jeez, guys, calm down.
Anyway I bring this up cause this guy is, I'm sorry to say, AN ARTIST, and he likes to do photography. Specifically of people dying, but photography nonetheless. So in this one interaction there's some writing that appears on the wall that he wrote and it says... "smile for me" and my immediate first reaction, instead of the normal, sane reaction of, I'd assume, "fuck off", was "omg are you flirting with me 😊"
I must reiterate that this man is ACTIVELY attempting to assassinate us. He wants us DEAD. Immediately after you see the writing on the wall he literally sends these monsters to KILL YOU.
Honestly "smile for me" is most definitely a threat because it implies he's taking a picture of you and, as I've said, he likes taking a picture of the moment of people's deaths, but it's okay, he was totally flirting.
