I wanna lick them so bad

yes the tattoo near his dih-

[an analysis of the characters (mostly Lane's) stances and vision, and the chance of possible death of some characters of the game]

— yes, i'm aware that i sound insane (and probably stupid), but in my head, it just makes a lot of sense idk... also, i studied literature and typography for a while, so this might just be me reading too much into things

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 〰〰〰—✦—〰〰〰

Let's start:

The locked door

The movie Lane references in the bathroom scene, after you pic "let him wrap his arm around you":

a guy and a girl inside a bathroom, then, at some point, he stands up, goes to lock the door, and then stabs her to death;

Lane specifically says "with a knife" and that reminded me of the only other knife we've seen in game ‐ the one inside MC's kitchen drawer; which btw, is the only object in there which text is shown in red

The reason as why the guy did it

Lane follows to describe how the guy acted/thought;

Making it clear that he thinks it is insane to choose to kill the person you love instead of just letting that person go

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Lane would never lock the door

After making it clear how he absolutely rebuked what the guy did, Lane goes on to say - multiple times - how he would never lock the door, he would never trap the MC, he would never force her to stay;

And saying that, if she wishes to go, she can, she's free to;

Not only would he never lock the door, he would've smashed it open if he was aware of the situation (which brings the next topic)

What he would actually do

Lane said he would've smashed the door

but what would he do about the guy? the answer: he would've killed him

when asked "why?", he said "that's just how i am" - he sees something wrong, he moves;

and when MC asks "what if you got hurt?", he simply answers "you wouldn't."

meaning that even if he got hurt in the process, it would be fine if that meant MC was safe and okay

(now's when the theory of the possibility of his death comes in)

Because Lane makes it very clear he would act even if it could end up with him in prison

To which MC says that he better not die while trying to protect her, because she doesn't want his death on her conscience;

(this one is important because it might be related to the red biker, which i'm going to briefly explain why after finishing the next and last topic of the door theory)

His door was unlocked & "open"

on lane’s route #2, when mc goes to his apartment, he's not there to open the door for her - in fact, he's not seen or heard until the MC takes upon herself to go inside of his apartment to look for him;

because his door was and is unlocked, not only allowing mc to leave but also to come in

there's mentions of death/possibility of being dead again

but, lastly, Lane says - again - that he left the door open for her

the correlation of the red biker and the line "I just don't want your death in my conscience" said by the MC

during the number calling, MC is 'offered' a tarot reading, where Jezabelle mentions that "MC's biggest problem isn't the living" and how "there's a shadow following the MC"

then next she pulls the devil's card - which we can associate to red biker

suggesting that he might already be dead and is just manifesting himself as "force" in MC's life

since it's followed by 3 other cards: the hanged man (werner); the fool (lane); the queen of swords (amelia);

mostly because, when Jezabelle starts naming the other 3 cards, MC asks "Who are these people?" instead of "What do those cards mean?" or something

– lmao it took me a while to realize the cards could be associated with the characters, and i think i only did it bc amelia's card fits her so well

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀〰〰〰—✦—〰〰〰

i think about this a lot actually...

— just more indicators that suggest there's a possibility Lane will die, or that at least him and the MC will be in a "life or death" situation

and this 🐴

— the fact that Lane doesn't like horses, but his mother had a horse plushie that would probably end up being his after he was born
