VICTOR

Julie will need to work with Victor to fine tune her story walking bookmark theory.

IMO, every time she walks into the past, she will need to bring/carry individual items that belonged to former Fromville residents (the ones that Victor saved in his suitcase on BIW’s advice), in order to reach their chapter in the story, in which they were killed (and/or eaten).

Randall can continue to function as her muscle who pulls her out of each chapter (5 second rule).

Instances seen so far:

- When Julie is with Ethan and story walks for the first time after being attracted by the ruins, she’s wearing a down coat which could’ve belonged to her mom. She sees Tabitha (and Victor) being tortured by the Anghkooey kids’ cries. She’s also wearing some of her own clothes, and sees herself in the ruins torture chamber chained to the wall.

~ In S3 E10, Julie was wearing a light sweatshirt and a dark jacket on the day she story walked into the chapter of Jim’s throat being slit. Either of those could’ve belonged to Jim.

~ In S4 E2, Julie was wearing a dark coat and reached the RV. That coat could’ve belonged to Jim.

- In S4 E4, Julie’s shirt could’ve belonged to the body that she saw in town. MIY could’ve been eating the owner of the shirt’s liver.

Note that this user flair will only be available for the next week or until we hit 151K boots, whichever comes first.

Boot Enlistment History:
