Though she could never prove it, Ophelia was almost entirely sure Olive had been trying to get rid of her for weeks. Her previously cold and disinterested aunt had started spending more time with her, making special meals for her, handing her pills when she was sick.
Sometimes, Ophelia would find the gas stove still lit, its fumes warping the air around it. Electrical cords would be placed inches away from the bathtub, just itching to be pushed into the water. The worst, though—the one that kept Ophelia up at night—was the new slab of stone that had appeared in their cemetery…and the seemingly Ophelia-sized hole waiting beneath it.

Time, it took us
To where the water was
That's what the water gave me
I've noticed that this is the second promotional/concept art with Peanut and water
Water evokes both birth and death ("That's what the water gave me" as in water gives us life but can also take it away / "Water of the Womb")
fitting with the overarching theme of death and rebirth of the game!
On the song by florence + the machine:
the irony of water which gives life now taking your life away (apparently a reference to Virginia Woolf's death by drowning)
The painting is Ophelia by John Everett Millais. It depicts the character Ophelia's death in the Shakespeare play Hamlet. The way his hands are placed outwards seem similar. Maybe that's deliberate? I've literally never read hamlet so I can't draw any connections here. If you've read/seen hamlet, please let us know your thoughts. (btw you have a very big brain)
this is just what I found on google search of Ophelia's character.
plus "Deception shatters Innocence" tagline of the game.
La Pieta, The Creation of Adam and now Ophelia ?

When you find your cousin that went missing for over a decade, but he has developed memory loss and a fear of woman
Made a sequel for my last Nerv and Ophie drawing
Ophelia would be so happy to see her cousin again. Though he's confused and frightened, Nerv thought the teen seemed oddly familiar
Edit:I forgot the scars, so I added them in
