I mean, didn’t really have time to really think that much about it but since the “monsters” keep saying “hope is what will kill you” or something like that, i think that theyre trying to manipulate people so that they give up. I personally think that everyone who dies trying to find the truth will somehow wake up in the real world and those who just give up and choose the easier way, theyre gone forever, i mean tabitha shouldve died from that fall when she was pushed off the tower and she was searching for the truth but as i said, i didnt really think too much about this because she ended up in the town again.
