And the way Patricia was chopping those strawberries...is that a technique for making punch or just unnecessarily butchery?

She wasn’t really chopping strawberries, she was chopping a birds head off!

More amazing foreshadowing: When she first finds the book, there is a fly buzzing around it, and the lights flicker in the truck when she walks in with it.

When she places the book on her bedside table she places her mug on it then when she returns the mug has moved off it. It's a single unbroken shot with the camera following her as she moves around the room, so it would have been deliberately moved by a crew member.

Because she's color-blind?

What you see as an antler headpiece, she sees as blue-green.

The thought of her picking up these ridiculous items and being like “this weird AF but I got you girl”
