Hrm, I guess I got the impression there was more to it because of the way the character up front was talking about all the painting work they do, all the STUFF going on (which I guess could just be implied to be lies to keep people who aren't of the, uh, 'right mind set' out of the basement?), and then during the scene in your house the amulet like, apparently teleports to you and stuff (though maybe that's just in your head? It's phrased like it isn't, though, you're just too brainwashed to notice) that at least make it feel like more is going to come of it, especially since magic amulets or similar markers (albeit ones that end up in your inventory) tend to be the signifier of being tied to a particular path/subject to being mind controlled back to the subject later/w/e.
I will grant, I might just be reading too much into it, it could be more that most things that tend to go past like 2 interactions seem to go to 5+ a lot of the time, and so I'm just having misfiring pattern recognition.
