History Headscratchers / Omori

[[folder: Sunny's sidequests]]
* Since Sunny doesn't have some NPC reminding him of his sidequests unlike Omori in Headspace, why couldn't he just have carried a handwritten to-do list with him to keep track of his Faraway Town sidequests?
** Considering his state of mind and his old house's emptiness, he probably never found stuff to write with and on there, and thus never thought of it.
** Why would he though? In the context of the story Sunny isn't a video-game character - he doesn't see these things as "sidequests." After all, do ''you'' keep a log of every little thing someone asks of you and how close you are to completing them?

[[folder: Basil's knowledge]]

* Is there any normal, sane reason of why twelve years old know how to make a noose?

* Much is made of Mari's pristine stockings being a giveaway that she didn't kill herself, as it shows that she couldn't have walked across the muddy ground to the tree where she hanged from. But what is stranger is that there ''wasn't'' any mud on her. Did two 12 year old boys really manage to lift the dead weight of an older girl's body all the way to the tree without dropping her or slipping once? Did they not have to put her down on the ground while one of them tied the noose?

** No, there isn't. But this just lends weight to the theory that Basil had already had suicidal feelings prior to witnessing Mari's death. Basil is implied to have a difficult relationship with his parents and his effeminate nature may have led to intense bullying (he is bullied by Aubrey later, but for a different reason.) The fact that he is able to fashion a noose so quickly out of a jump rope means he's obviously practiced making one before, but he never went through with it (it's implied that his Grandmother is the only one keeping him grounded, when she is hospitalized in the late game, with the implication that she died, Basil goes off the deep end and will kill himself if Sunny doesn't intervene.)
