  Ray's mom getting her dad arrested then saying "he'll live" no doubt instilled it into Ray's mind that the government won't kill the book club, only rough them up at most.

  Fun fact the piano piece played at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGH6wem8sYA&amp;t=1089">18:09</a> is called &quot;the torment of a flower &quot; and it was banned during that era

  Minor thing but I like that the humor died down a tad when the <i>serious</i> serious parts came up. Thank you for understanding that Ray was a child.

  My parents were raised during white terror, both barely mention their life as a kid in school, but when they did, it was usually in a distant tone. Disappearing friends, beatings, praising poems, shaming “dog boards” on the neck, they said these things as if it&apos;s not their childhood, like it&apos;s a weird dream.<br>And honestly? It&apos;s probably for the best.

  I was in Ray&apos;s situation, with a fucked home life, with the only positive attention coming from the guy who was grooming me from adolescence. He had me so hooked to him that Im sure I would have done anything to save the relationship, even when it did end up isolating me. Or worse.<br><br>Im glad you didnt villify her for what she did. Im all too familiar with that headspace she found herself in. Its a horrific place to be

  the lantern spector could maybe be symbolic of the officers too? like when they come for everyone else you hide your face and hold your breath hoping they don&apos;t know you were involved too?

  Rey was groomed by a predator in an environment where no ine was safe to speak the truth. She never had a chance.

  The lantern spector in Chinese is 鬼差 that means &quot;ghost catcher&quot; or &quot;spirit catcher&quot;. In the old Chinese legend, this spector comes, finds and catches any spirits that has died and hasn&apos;t been routed to a place in hell where you&apos;ll go trough trials (阎罗殿)<br>So what I think that is, is that the girl is constantly hiding from the spector due to her unfinished wishes (idk how to make it makes sense lol)

  No one really pointed this out, but at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGH6wem8sYA&amp;t=739">12:19</a>, the wall is filled with the words for “Amitabha”, the principle buddha in Buddhism. But it’s basically the Chinese version of “oh god” or “please god,” similar to one begging for their life. It really freaked me out when I saw it in the video, and I wanted to share that.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGH6wem8sYA&amp;t=1089">18:09</a> there&apos;s bloody finger prints on the piano keys that you&apos;re supposed to play showing Rei ... Had played it before, she has blood on her hands.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGH6wem8sYA&amp;t=2238">37:18</a> The necklace/pendant wasn&apos;t thrown away, she jumped off the school building, it flew off and dropped into the vent, and that&apos;s how her ghost got stuck in the school. It&apos;s evident because you see a shadow of her jumping off when you go to the roof one time (the first time iirc).

  kinda surprised this video didn&apos;t pop off considering it&apos;s the very first result i found on the game analysis. You did an incredible job, the cuts, the music, the suspense, and the memes were peak and didn&apos;t interrupt the more touching parts of the story. Over all, I enjoyed this video immensely and I can&apos;t wait to see more of these from you. I never realized the old woman is supposed to be a figure of mythos, neither the river. The more you know!<br>On a different note, the Lantern holding ghost as I&apos;ve read is supposed to represent the officials/officers and how you shouldn&apos;t meet their eyes because any suspicion is cause enough to be killed by them.
