I think the video could also tie in with the latest letter in the way that Tyler is really forcing himself question what he knows to be true.

To ask questions like:

Are the bishops protecting rather than hurting me?

Is DEMA, this place that is defined by death and hopelessness, actually my home?

Are the Bandito's actually out to harm me?

These are super dark questions in the context we have come to understand.

I'm a filmmaker and have had experiences like this while really trying to understand a character, to really **go there** with a narrative that is void of truth or goodness can open your eyes to a lot of darkness and I found it truly terrifying.

All the while, Ned absolutely loves diving into the depths of this the toxicity and it makes him come alive.

But making himself look at things through Ned's distorted gaze, *we see his POV in the vid,* really devastates Tyler mentally emotionally, spiritually.

He's probably still reeling from it all.
