  • Dren is crushed when Elsa took the cat from her. Though, since Dren kills the cat immediately after getting her back, that feeling may not last.
    • Arguably that makes it even more sad. Dren imitated the behaviour of her bipolar, abusive mother there, as a revenge for essentially comparing her to a pet animal. No-one ever taught her to control her impulses or to understand why petty cruelty isn't OK.
      • As an added justification, Dren may have also been jealous over Clive.
  • Dren holding the doll and looking in the mirror... It is almost as if she is wondering what she is. Though she looks humanoid, she is not human and this scene seems to show she knows it.
  • Actually, Dren's entire life may count. She is first kept in a lab, then in a barn, where she grows increasily bored and lonely. As if that was not enough, first she is treated as a child, then as an experiment, which would be confusing to any creature. She may be a thing, but she didn't ask to be made.
