THE LINE BETWEEN SOMETHING INTIMATE AND DATA COLLECTION

well if you insist

the dead come talking, cant put them to rest

- both times he went missing, he was in a dissociative fugue and has very little memory of before and during running off. the first time, he came to while digging in a random field. he couldnt find his car and assumed he was still in connecticut but was, in fact, on the coast in rhode island! nobody has seen him since the second time he walked off. anna is realistically sure that hes dead, but jill remains in denial. its not easy losing both your sons.

- he didnt actually die in the Mark's bathroom, but he almost did. it left him with nerve damage and cognitive issues bc he was deprived of oxygen for a short period if time. not that he didnt already have issues with impulse control and shit but his coordination was fucked. he had to relearn how to properly use a computer again. his quality of life plummeted.

- while he can still see stuff up close, he is legally blind. got them thick ass glasses but even with them not everything is clear. when anna would have him babysit care, she got him that bright green key to make it easier to tell it apart from his own house key.

- on that note, he babysat care quite a bit shortly before and after mike passed away.

- hes also really good with kids. youd think he would come off as kinda unsettling just bc of how flat he can be, but he rly doesnt. part of that is due in part to mike being born while he was in his teens, and babysitting care. when the school was still up and running, marvin pushed to have daniels "petscop kids" program set up there. thats where most of his playtesters came from.

- when marvin hit the dog (who ive named jack lol), he was driving drunk with care in her carseat in the back. when he couldnt get ahold of anna, he would show up to the hammond household trying to talk to her thru jill. it had happened three times by then, but this time he hit the dog and got the car (anna's car) stuck in a snow bank directly in front of them. daniel watched it happen but didnt see care until he went outside. he ended up pulling marvin out of the car and verbally attacking him before shoving him onto the driveway. jill had to pull him off, and both care and mike saw the whole thing. its one of the few times he outwardly expressed any emotion, which is pretty scary knowing hes never been a violent person.
