Ok, I agree that Eileen shouldn't be able to carve those numbers, but I don't think Walter can go into reality. "Almost as if a ghost were responsible" could mean that the carvings appeared when he made them in unreality, like "Nightmare on Elmstreet".the Adversary wrote:>So, the "real" carvings were selfinflicted
No, Walter Sullivan did them in reality; Walter has the ability to traverse between reality & unreality. "There were no clues. Almost as if a ghost were responsible." [paraphrase] Like Raithien said: It would be impossible for the victims to carve the numbers into themselves in reality simply because of where they were carved: In the forehead, on the stomach, on the back, across the chest.
My theory on why he can be seen outside the door and in Braintrees apartment is that he isn't in reality, he is in unreality, but Henry can't see the rest of it. If you look through your door, you should instead be seing the red goo stuck on the wall... it should be the "living flesh" apartment, because that is where 302 is located. It's just an outpost into reality and that's why you see reality. The things that can appear is "blurred" because of this twisted "peeholes" into reality.
The handmarks on the wall, Walter, Bloody Henry... those doesn't exist in reality, but exist in unreality. The windows shows reality like a movie screen... if you were able to open them, they would show the truth: Unreality.
So, you are never in reality when your in 302... that's why I don't agree that Walter can walk between reality and unreality.
