I think I found a bug. After I exhausted all the dialogue, got pretty much all the paper except 1 (which im pretty sure is in the unlocked closet), Thomas Brickman was stated to have gotten out of the house at one point, but I can't ask him about it, I could ask the teenagers, but not him, leading me to not be able to progress.
Also was I supposed to use the crowbar to open the unlocked door? How do you get it to open?
