That's probably a good thing. My mom actually indirectly convinced me to chase after this, to figure out what the hell was going on. She obviously had no idea people were being brainwashed to sacrifice themselves to this- giant- monster trying to take over the world, but she told me not to give up on it.I like to think maybe she'd be proud of me, if she knew the truth, but it wouldn't stop her from grounding me for the rest of my life. So it's definitely for the best.

The fact that they were still in town for weeks on end was a signal on its own. ]
