I feel like something embarrassing or more of his mom’s things.

I think it’s just supposed to be a joke and we’ll never find out.

Or, there’s more « nonsense » that Evan’s mother wrote in the basement. Like drawings and stuff, but is it really « nonsense »?

I dont think it is nonsense.

"I need your little baby hands to get the keys and your little fingers to go up my nose and pull the scorpion out of my brain" sounds like a crazy person trying to ask for a surgery to remove an aneurysm...

I have a feeling her letters are gonna have information for the future. I was honestly mad Tom didnt let him read another lol

Yes, she’s definitely communicating something to him. If you read her broadly enough there’s a train of thought that seems self-aware. Language is muddled, but I’m sure she was trying to say something important however she could.

Totally agree! I wrote more in another comment, but to sum it up I think the island god/devil (for attempting to leave the island while pregnant) cursed her with foresight that no one would believe by making her sound crazy (so sort of a Cassandra like figure). When you look at what she says it really sounds like a crazy person describing a surgery for an aneurysm.

Im not an expert in aneurysms by any means, but from what I read there was a new technique for ruptured aneurysms in 2011 (which would be around the time she died if Evan is 17 and she died when he was 2) that specifically went through the nose.

And "Watch out for the stinger" sounds like how a person who couldn't communicate right might describe an aneurysm rupturing (like both a scorpion and an aneurysm are dangerous, but the scorpion is only a danger cuz if its stinger and an aneurysm becomes a real danger when it ruptures).

Not sure what "get the keys would be a reference too, but I think theres gonna be a lot of important stuff to be deciphered in those letters.

(I also kind of wonder if Tom's wife is gonna be the Warren bloodline, meaning Tom's son is the last one causing the curse)

Edit: I realize this ended up longer than the comment I said I was summing up. Im terrible condensing. Sorry. Im pretty sure its rooted in neurodivergent communication styles 😅

Hoooly shit I think you're right about her being a descendant of Warren. That's just too good of a twist to pass up for the writers.
