LOL WAT

i found the egg room with only a minor hint from the internet. it's surprisingly easy to find this time. this is my first ever egg in my playthrough.

i'm so much more curious about the man behind the tree now, because in every other egg interaction that i've seen, he's incredibly sinister and ominous. obviously he and whatever he represents are huge sources of trauma for kris, probably linked to "the incident back then."

but in chapter 5 he seems...not malicious? sinister, but not malicious. when kris gets lightheaded from looking out at all the "trees in the distance," the man "looks concerned." he smiles like he wants to reassure them. like...whatever he's doing, whatever the eggs are, clearly they're scaring the shit out of kris but it seems like that's not what the man intends. like he doesn't mean to scare them. it seems like there's something he wants to tell them or that he wants them to understand, but kris's fear and discomfort isn't his intent.
