Only Friends: Clues to Ray's Mother's Death

So I was rewatching Episode 2 earlier today when I suddenly caught a few details I didn't notice before, which are fairly easy to miss.

Does alcoholism run in the family?

We're shown that Ray is clearly not comfortable talking about his mother's death which suggests a degree of sensitivity around the circumstances or understandably he's still affected by the trauma it caused him. When framed in such a way, there's an implication of foul play or 'more to the story' than may first appear.

I noticed in the flashback that his mother seems to have a glass container and stopper laying on the floor beside her, and what looks like another in the palm of her outstretched hand. Both are clearly empty. The decanter on the floor looks like the kind you'd typically keep whisky in. There are also a couple more decanters off to the left side, sitting on the mantel. But it's intentional that the detail closest to us is blurred and easy to miss as the flashback is very brief.

When I initially watched the episode, I did get a odd sense of foreboding that there's more to Ray's alcoholism than meets the eye. It's possible that such a habit was triggered/exacerbated by grief, or maybe it has more to do with his upbringing than we'd like to imagine. If there's a possibility that his mother happened to be an alcoholic too, Ray could be navigating a very risky path that may lead to the tragic irony of following his mother's footsteps.

The Record Room

The other detail I noticed is Ray keeps a photo of her behind the bar. This is an interesting location for such a personal item to be on display. If you're wealthy enough to have a in-house bar, that tends to be a place for hosting/entertaining. So it's less common to find personal objects in these types of spaces.

It sits by the entrance to Ray's record room. When Ray leads Sand in, it felt like he was inviting him into a private area (or a secret hideout) of sorts. A little safe haven that is all his own in this enormous mansion. Ray reveals that the record(s) now belong to him since his mother's passing which informs us his mother had a passion for music. Ray may have set up such a room in tribute to her memory, or it simply provides him with comfort to have a physical manifestation of something he and his mother shared in common. In which case, the photo watches over this space.

If my first theory is on the right track, there is the alternative possibility that the photo acts as a stark reminder instead. Something that Ray tried to put in place to steer him away from the path his mother took. It also sits atop a glass cabinet that coincidentally contains many glass decanters similar to the one I mentioned above in the flashback.

Connections to Sand

Now I remember someone making a comment that there was obvious irony in pairing an alcoholic with someone who bootlegs their own alcohol. But perhaps the plot may toy with this idea more than just on pure irony alone.

What I do also really like is that the record(s) are a memory of Ray's mother. The fact that Sand is a musician and shares his mother's taste in music, creates an association between the two. Sand is a reminder of the things Ray's mother liked. And perhaps this is what also attracts Ray to Sand. There's something about him which feels comforting and familiar.

Is it just me does does Suyako Kamado (Tanjiros ancestor) look kinda weird in the anime……

When she looked like this in the manga?

Like they completely changed her eye and kimono color to one’s that seem to clash with one another. Also since it seems like their going to stick with this design what are they going to do about Sumire (Suyako and Sumiyoshis daughter) since she inherited her mothers eye color?

Honestly I think they should have just stayed with the original color scheme but it seems to be an emerging habit since they also changed the human form of Daki and Gyutaros eye and hair color as well.

OH MY GOSH!!!

Just noticed the "handle with care" sign above Hunter's head. 🥺 That's the same spot Gus sits in later when he's upset. They both needed to be "handled with care" at the time they sat there! 😭

Guys i was doing some research for my avatar series & im jus now realizing that the mc has reached a year passed age of maturity in na’vi years😭.

I have been writing the series wit the perspective of; “okay they’re in their teenage years still young & not having to worry about too much” —BUT NOW ive jus found out that some of them reached young adulthood already 😟😟

like this doesn’t change the plot that much, but it still would’ve been good to know a little sooner

Finished watching a play through of Bendy and the Ink Machine dark revival and one thing I noticed was that Wilson said that he “split the ink demon” in two and later in the game we meet a tiny and cute bendy that’s playing with a toy train like a child does and he doesn’t say a word the whole time. Then shortly after we get introduced to the “actual” ink demon but instead of him being unable to talk he speaks very articulately so what if the baby bendy and the ink demon were a fusion of the previous version of bendy that we saw in the first game? 😳😳😳

sooo, watched the stream today (not all the way through yet) but Mark brought up the “secret” again in the Jump In Again route. Said nobody found it yet. I know he’s probably just fucking with us and that there is no secret, but I went through the videos at .25 speed. The only things I found out of the ordinary were that the left screen flashes green for a second in two of the videos. does it mean anything? probably not. if there is a secret, I couldn’t find it. 🤷‍♀️
