* ConditionedToAcceptHorror: When the book appears at Mama Rabbit's doorstep, she doesn't appear nearly as frightened as last time. Her and Audrey's dialogue almost sounds bored when they talk about it, and it's implied that the amount of times that this has happened to the family since the first game is way more than just this one time.

There's no strong evidence that reading the book causes The Man to attack as opposed to the book being a supernatural warning of some kind.

So what does Mama Rabbit do when she sees the book appear on her doorstep? She opens the book up and starts reading.

''The Man from the Window 2'' is a 2023 short third-person horror game created by Creator/ZedTechnician released in early January.
It happens in the same timeline as VideoGame/TheManFromTheWindow, and features the same characters. The TimeSkip that happens between games appears to have been years. Mama Rabbit, the protagonist of both games, is now a retired grandma. Junior, Mama Rabbit's son, is all grown up now and has a job at a [[WorkingClassHero shipping company,]] and is physically absent for most of the game. Junior now has a daughter of his own, and her name is Audrey. She takes up Junior's role from the first game as the one who you need to choose where they hide from The Man.
Just as Mama Rabbit finishes up a phone call with Junior, mentioning that she ordered takeout for herself and Audrey, she hears a knock at the door. Thinking that it's the takeout she ordered, she opens the door to find no one there. Once she looks down at her feet, however, she sees a book that she knows all too well...with an anomalous creature hunting her and Audrey down and her only defense being a [[RhymesOnADime limerick-filled]] book, Mama Rabbit has only 5 minutes before The Man begins his search for his new friend...
The game is available for purchase at $1 or more on [[https://zed-technician.itch.io/the-man-from-the-window-2 itch.io]].
