During scenes like laundry or class, they’re just standing or sitting around instead of actually doing things. More NPCs moving through the hallways would’ve made Grimwell feel more alive, though maybe the emptiness is intentional to keep that eerie vibe. Watching Annabelle’s reality unravel is genuinely unsettling in the best way. Annabelle deserves all the happiness in the world and I’m rooting for her! I re…
