AND RIGHT AFTER THIS LOREDROP?? WHERE HE BASICALLY CONFIRMS IT'S THE WATCHERS KEEPING HIM IN THERE??

Scar, who already thought wild life was a weird but sweet dream since he got dragged right back to the sunflowers when it ended, receiving a task on session 5 in past life. Staring down at the offending piece of paper in disbelief. That hollow haze coming back and not leaving, even when the book doesn't tell him to Win Secret Life over and over like they always do.

Pearl, suddenly feeling like she's only half of herself on session 3, a feeling she hoped to never feel again. The immediate panic and despair, much to the confusion of her teammates- even if Grian remembers, he might not understand. Avoiding Scott all day even if they're not soulbound this time.

tl;dr: dude pearl and scar are gonna be miserable, those gimmicks absolutely RUINED them in their respective winning seasons 😭 alliances or lackthereof always play a big role in how ruined a winner is (which is so far all of them besides joel. joel is living his best life) but i feel like for scar and pearl the gimmick played a HUGE role in that - large enough for it to be a bigger part of the trauma. Pearl likely wouldn't have suffered as much without the soulbond, and the secret keeper consistently gave Scar tasks that isolated him from everyone else, basically molding its own winner. Not to mention, keeping an eye on said winner for years by not letting him leave.
