!SPOILERS!
1: That's what my friend said during that scene too!! I think it makes a lot of sense, especially as Hazel's trauma resurfaces because of it.
2: I agree!! They are so extremely doomed, and even if Hazel were not to die in ending #3 (where Mary is arguably the nicest to Hazel), Mary would still have been the same controlling and manipulative character we see more clearly in the other endings. I like that Mary is depicted as abusive yet still acts loving and apologetic in other moments, and even what could feel like most instances. It makes her seem more real, more nuanced and complex. I also really like how they wrote her backstory. I wrote about that in my other reply written in strikethrough, but in short: Hazel is at least the second person Mary has taken in, and from this, and the slightly subtextual way Mary speaks as though she's afraid of Hazel abandoning her like the others did when they had to escape her. It just all fits together so nicely and I like when stories are thought-out so cleanly :D
* I also think cinnamew made a reply to someone clarifying how they thought out ending 2 that confirms this?... anyway I hope you have a nice day!
uhh last regards, right. so: if you don't have that many new ideas, no worries! how about this: do you have any questions? or just topics, really.. i just like having an opportunity to analyze media i like, so anything goes, really!
