Wow, that escalated. For a while it's just a compilation of Junji Ito stuff, pretty regular "something terrible and mysterious happens and then we somehow return to a status quo that we can later disrupt again" and eventually it's like, fuck it we ball. Weird stuff stays weird and gets weirder. Love it.
