okay so i just got to the part where everyone's getting on the school bus for the field day and oh my god i genuinely burst out laughing for a solid five seconds at getting to sit with the bus driver. i dont know why that tickled me so. thank you for the chewing gum mr. bus driver
okay so i hit the TBC and am playing through each different field day (i genuinely love the full cast) and i swear to god.
[idk how to do spoiler tags in itch.io comments section so im just gonna hit enter a lot of times to try & bury this next bit cos...
it's a theory incoming]

NEIM'S TERRIBLE MEMORY IS TOTALLY FROM BRAIN DAMAGE SHE RECEIVED AS THE RESULT OF A NEAR-DROWNING INCIDIENT WHEN SHE WAS WEE BABBIES WITH MATT
IS THE JESTER EVEN REAL
IM QUESTIONING EVERYTHING
one thing's for sure - this definitely explains a lot about matt's character. ugh this is so well written i'm having such a good time
in more speculative territory RE the jester: the jester definitely could be some kind of hallucination neim's mind created to cope with the trauma... but also what if the jester is real and neim Also just happened to have a near-death experience? both could be true at once
so much to ponder
oh my god - i don't think this theory is true but it's Possible - what if the jester's curse was actually fine at the start but neim getting brain damage caused the curse to freak out and go full pun mode activate???
personally though i just think neim is Like That (and we love her for it)
anyways i havent even finished the entire scene yet i just had to go flip out somewhere
god. while im in dumb theory mode. mr. ashtrey mentions that is wife died but left him with a son... what if mr. ashtrey is seth's dad?!
that would be absolutely insane because 1. it would necessitate mr. ashtrey being some kind of crime lord and 2. seth's last name, according to this itch page, is not ashtrey
but damn wouldnt it be wild
