Upon my replays none of the other puppets seems to comment on any instance of other puppets being "Frayed" and they all are too welcoming to the player, being a complete stranger that just fell from the sky. So the Rocky instance might've been a first for them.

The "Frayed Oliver" drawing in his wiki turns out to be a non-cannon drawing made by the official art director of the game. Just a "What if" scenario if it was Oliver who was frayed in place of Rocky (Though I feel like in that scenario Rocky would've still rocked his shit 😭 If regular Oliver still failed with adrenaline pumpin' through his stuffin what would the possessed version of him be doing-)

In art posted by the artist director they hinted that Oliver's father died in possibly a fire, maybe even his mother's fault. And for the 2nd antagonist that will appear in Part 2 she doesn't seem to follow the same faith as Rocky. Rocky seems to be fighting the demonic entity which lead him to be Frayed. As for Piper (The antagonist of act 2) she doesn't seem to be frayed but made to follow some unknown master. The "Unknown Master" might be the same demonic entity that frayed Rocky because in the cover of Piper's diary there's a sticker that closely resembles that demonic entity. So the "Fraying" doesn't seem to be a reoccurring/common instance at most. Now on to the Tarot Card:

So the meanings of the death card are: -Something ending (popularly relationships, interests, opportunities) -New starts or beginnings -Growth/ Transformation (meaning can differ in the position of the card) -Change (meaning can differ in the position of the card)

In the Death Tarot we specifically see the scene where Oliver is in tears as he's about to face Rocky. Though popular belief that Oliver's the one who's possibly dead it might actually be Rocky since he's the one who died in that scene.

Asides from the literal meaning, in mix with the meanings of the tarot card it self it could also mean that; this instance will obviously make a big change, him seeing his friend being a big horrid monster out of nowhere. It would definitely develop his character a bit, possibly showing the "growth" symbolism in the card due to his friend's transformation. The end of something is possibly the relationship with Rocky, or maybe he'd distrust the played since such an instance happened when they just arrived. Other than that, it could also mean that even after that fight with Rocky it's not the end. Things just started. After this once incident with Rocky there will be more showing that it's just the beginning.

WTF- Tumblr better not butcher the quality of this shi- Here's the thingy if it does end up being blurry.
