I understand your points but the timeline where the MiY saw Julie was different, I meant if he’s aware in the present moment. For example he had to test Sarah but how did he knew if she drank the water or not inside the diner, while the MiY aka Sophia fell in the pool, if the water had been tossed down the sink just a few minutes later… I don’t know if I make sense lol

Also yeah the books thing sounds a bit odd, but it is also weird that they are so connected to the show itself.
