    Or take the swearfilter’s advice and run away, Jonah. Far away.

      Yes, that “run away” in the middle of a sentence is really creepy. Is this one of the movies where someone is in a horrible, horrible place where something really fucked up is going on, but no one is telling him, and the only person who is not on it doesn’t have control of their speech most of the time because he is possessed by something evil, so they are just chatting idly with the evil thing trying to lure the guy in, and then person gets control of their speech for a second and says “Run away”, and afterwards the evil thing is in control and just plays it off, and then something horrible happens?

        Colliding with the childhood reference, it sounds almost like Nick ran away because he was shut in a box. (While we actually know that he shut *himself* in a box with a computer in it, was kidnapped/”rescued” into his current form, and has since spent his time as a machine that moves great distances and has shown no regrets. Sometimes running away is *good* for you!)

    My Mom still has stuff from when I was in school… I still have stuff from when my kids were in school.

    We know Nick didn’t have any family, but I don’t know about how long he didn’t have any family. So he’s probably just trying to change the subject.

    … which is why nobody cared when I was kidnapped and turned into a helicopter

      I hated when that happened, but adjustments were made.

    IIFC He did refer to his mother being dead in a rather disrespectfully flippant manner when he was first introduced.

      You’re good. In two parts, starting here.

    So, if we’ve solved the mystery of why this basement contains boxes and boxes of kindling, the next question is “why doesn’t Jonah turn the light on instead of trying to examine stuff by torchlight?”.

      Why not both? The lights in my Grandmother’s basement were terrible.

      When the guy who can see the future examines stuff by torchlight instead of turning the light on, it doesn’t bode well for your electrical wiring, does it?

      Turn the lights on? Is that what Fox Mulder would do?

      Probably not as big of a deal here, but it’s just good policy when you’re investigating a strange place to not touch anything you don’t have to. That includes light switches. You don’t want to find out the hard way that someone has left booby traps for you.

      He’s a psychic investigating a conspiracy. Flashlights and sneaking around are de rigueur for these kind of things.

    Could the opera-loving silverfish have a branch in this basement? Lots of tasty school projects for them.

    Who provided the drawings of the Thanksgiving turkey and the dinosaur, as if I didn’t have my suspicions already?

    A dark reminder that Nick had zero real life connections, including family.

    Poor Nick. 🙁
