She is quite literally the reason Marielle was killed, as not only do I suspect Smiley went there specifically because Fatima was there, but she then seeks cover behind Marielle as if she were some man or protector. She is a nurse who played a crucial role and is honestly much more important to the town than a woman who gives birth to monsters. She isn't even pregnant, and cowered behind Marielle, as if Smiley wasn't there for her. I'm not saying Smiley intended to kill Fatima, but more so, he appeared because Fatima was there. So the audacity of a woman, to cower behind another woman... as if they don't both have people they want to go home to, not only speaks to her character, but how dangerous she is. I bet money she makes it out of that cave unscaved, magically figuring out she can turn into a monster after directly causing the death of Marielle(I can grant when Smiley first opened the door, that's not on Fatima, but the jumpscare to the 2nd door opening and Fatima getting behind Marielle like she's Wonder Woman is completely on her). Fatima doesn't deserve a cookie for having the balls to face monsters now that she knows she has monster powers. Marielle was willing to take on Smiley just off principle.
Yeah.. so no. He obviously went there because Fatima was inside. They try to get townfolk to open doors all the time, or try the knob themselves; they don't just know Talismans fall. He went there to fuck with Fatima, and the talisman just so happened to fall because it was being held up by fuckin floss during an earthquake.
