Thank you!! Excellent question, re: one car in the parking lot. I have a few theories, and yours is definitely a welcome addition:
- The carny might live there
- I have a stretch goal of adding a bike rack with a unicycle, which would give both of you conveyance (very plausible, since it adds more ones of things)
- the player is a ghost? No other signs point to this, but I can't rule it out
- employee parking is elsewhere
- player and carny carpooled - Thanks again!
