#

thats why the beta is "spoiler free" and alpha 1.5 has "clues to full game"

strange lance
#

They probably didn't wanna buy that much effort into a beta

safe charm
#

If its done

strange lance
#

Look at hn1 beta's

strange lance
#

They were still the father son story at that time

#

And then fg came and changed it up

safe charm
#

But then people will think that story is gonna be built upon

strange lance
#

Exactly

#

To build up hype

#

And then drop it and run off

#

Last second

teal imp
#

why does alex have to be so stupid....

pale urchin
#

Because I could've sworn that making cartoons takes a lot of time, and thats what Alex did with his own cartoon

#

The story legit feels like Alex fed a general synopsis of HN lore to an AI and told it to spit out a show plot

#

We know how much he loves using AI in conjunction with the AS lol

teal imp
#

It does feel like it lmao

stiff spire
#

this makes me wonder if Alex had to do something with the change of the story during HN1

#

unless Nikita changed it

#

when they delayed the game

shell gull
#

Aaron is dead

#

Where do we go with that?

#

Other than everything lore wise

#

I’m talking effect wise

#

It caused Ted to do what he did in GN2 and leading to the time loop

ripe berry
#

Hey, if The Guest being a Manifestation really is correct then explain the plot holes of what the god of the Forest Protectors is, what grants the Forest Protectors luck, why the Forest Protectors are dressed as crows, and why the Guest has more power then the Thing, then I won't see any problems with the Guest being a Manifestation theory.

strange lance
#

The almighty bird god

#

RB is all about birds it's not out of the question that they just worship birds

#

We know the guest is about emotions because that is literally how he appears to people

stiff spire
#

I still don't know why Theodore would have the choice to lock up Aaron I know he wants him to be safe and not die but that's way too harsh

ripe berry
#

(Was just in denial, I still am partly in denial)

teal imp
#

guys Aaron is alive!!!

strange lance
#

no way!

teal imp
#

he can just cook the guest eggs!!!!!

strange lance
#

smug idiot

stiff spire
#

bon guestite

strange lance
#

go to the sandbox

teal imp
#

one egg would be enough to feed Aaron for days!!!!

stiff spire
#

the guest sure had some cool looking houses in concept arts

strange lance
tribal talon
teal imp
#

this discussion died

#

I was right

ripe berry
#

Also may I say Aaron is the character whose timeline has been retconned the most in this franchise. First he kills Mya sometime before March 1997, then suddenly it's May 3rd 1996, except now it's August 1995. He burned down Ted's House, except now he didn't. He distracted Ted in the Act 2 Ending, except now he doesn't distract Ted.

#

and now it's not even his fault Mya died in the AS

strange lance
#

I like that they retconned him burning the house

#

And him distracting ted

#

Aaron is much more impactful now

#

He's a Catalyst now

#

For a bunch of bad things

#

So he was kinda right

#

"I make bad things happen"

ripe berry
#

Aaron really was a omen

#

just like his dad claimed in that room in Book 1 it seemed

#

(at least that's what Guidebook interpeted, shit I referenced the Guidebook)

teal imp
#

thats too scary and sad for kids!

ripe berry
#

Ted claimed Aaron was a omen in the hidden room in Missing Pieces, Aaron said he makes bad things happen, turns out, they were right! Just not at the timeframe it was claimed

nicky was able to simply shove the thing and it died

the thing looks real weak ngl

its only in their for an achievement the GAAP coins in hnvr isnt really lore related

shell gull

#

yeah the thing is just in nickys mind while the guest is a real being

shell gull
shell gull
# lapis sonnet how

Well we see it has effect in the outside world, we see it can go on top of things and sit on ledges and such.

#

The best I can say is

#

The Guest and The Thing have effects in the mind

#

They just perceive it differently

#

The Thing works better in the mind

#

While The Guest works better physically

lapis sonnet
shell gull
#

He would’ve just fazed through it

lyric zephyr
#

I still hate how they made Aaron into a legitimate curse tbh

#

It worked a lot better with Ted being delusional and in denial

nothing in hn2 makes sense anyway

Kraaaa! Today we want to take a moment and thank you for your continued support, and shed light on the unknown. We're currently working on exciting updates for Hello Neighbor 2, which might take a little more time than usual. But we want to share our excitement with you now!

shell gull
#

And it’s The Guest

lyric zephyr
#

I refuse to solely because of the luck magic stuff, I’m sorry it’s just stupid to make the problems something entirely out of their control because an evil group used magic to give them bad luck

shell gull
#

It’s his thing

lyric zephyr
hazy slate
# shell gull It’s his thing

but that contradicts the emotion stuff because from our knowledge Quentin isn't really feeling anything at that point in time

#

outside of maybe fear from seeing it

lyric zephyr
#

How does it contradict anything in GN2 it’s going after Pris just, because

#

No reason he just wants her as a host

strange lance
#

The petersons always had bad luck tbh

#

even before they moved back to RB

shell gull
hazy slate
lyric zephyr
#

No he wants Pris
The one he calls her name through the window and tries to drown

#

Regina is the red head girl

hazy slate
#

if it's Pris he is after then that's a hole in the emotion stuff aswell

#

Regina is depressed over flan

strange lance
#

The Guest attacks Quentin because he just wants to, what he does to Aaron and all of those characters is because he wants them

shell gull
#

He just needs a host

#

He still feeds off Ted

lyric zephyr
#

But he’s not after Regina, he’s just tormenting her

strange lance
#

if the Guest wanted Quentin he would manipualte him

lyric zephyr
#

He really wants Pris

shell gull
lyric zephyr
#

No???

#

He’s going after Pris

#

He tries to drown Pris, he legit calls Pris’ name through the window

#

Regina was just in his way

hazy slate
shell gull
# lyric zephyr No???

Bud, he did the same with Aaron and Ted so he can use them to his benefit, he’s doing the same with her.

strange lance
#

idk if you guys realized but what The guest does to Regina is what he does to Aaron. He gets to those characters and then uses them to get what he really wants, being Ted/Pris

#

except he didn't get pris

#

he got Ted

lyric zephyr
#

Yeah

#

He got Ted because he tried to stop the Mayak, then tried to get Pris

#

But he failed because Regina pulled her out

#

Idk how y’all are saying he’s not after Pris he legit says her name, tries to crash her car, goes directly after her in the water

strange lance
#

Pris's powerful ruler

#

to hurt the guest

lyric zephyr
#

If he wanted Regina he could’ve taken her while Pris was underwater

strange lance
#

if he wanted Regina he could've just done it in the nest lol

shell gull
#

He went for pris cuz he knew he was gonna weaken from Ted getting over his emotions, failed and went for Ted himself.

strange lance
#

but he didn't

shell gull
#

He’s using them

#

While Ted is his creator

lyric zephyr
#

I’m pretty sure the only reason Ted changed his mind is because of Regina being a 10 year old girl with red hair
Like Mya

shell gull
#

To feed off

lyric zephyr
strange lance
#

I can't wait for book 9 to tell us what the Guest really wants and conclude the hello neighbor series!

hazy slate
strange lance
#

We are never getting book 9

#

and that's just sad

shell gull
strange lance
#

We'll never find out what happened to the town loop

lyric zephyr
#

I think the Guest is, biased
He claims to take things people don’t deserve, but really he’s just taking things he wants
In the alphas he’s taking garbage, specifically shoes

strange lance
#

the characters

hazy slate
#

when Nicky isn't even there

lyric zephyr
shell gull
#

Here

strange lance
#

when they kill Ted he turns into the thing

lyric zephyr
#

Legit The Thing is just fear

#

And SN is all imagination

hazy slate
shell gull
# hazy slate Then why is the thing tormenting the rescue squad instead of Nicky?
#

READ

lyric zephyr
#

So of course they’re scared of Ted and when they beat him ingame they defeat their fear

#

Thus he turns into The Thing

#

We’re not reading your self speculation as canon proof, I’m going off of what Nikita himself has said
The Thing isn’t real, it’s just fear and trauma

strange lance
#

Ted did NOT deserve that random chair

shell gull
strange lance
#

Guest had to take it

lyric zephyr
#

The Thing is just how the HN universe represents fear, plain and simple
Isn’t real

#

Isn’t an entity

#

Isn’t sentient

hazy slate
strange lance
#

idk why people think he's a manifestation that's just the guest

#

the thing is literally just a mind thing

#

that just exists in hn

#

and nothing else

#

he has no emotions

#

or goal

shell gull
hazy slate
lyric zephyr
#

Yeah

hazy slate
#

It is a THEORY

#

Nobody confirmed it

lyric zephyr
#

The Thing is the only one we have a fact of what it is

#

The Guest we have no idea still

shell gull
# strange lance he has no emotions

Well, no, he grew when Nicky started to get more trauma, and died when Nicky got over it, The Guest was getting stronger as Ted sorrow got worse, and got scared when Ted was getting over it, it also used people to its own benefit against Ted.

hazy slate
strange lance
#

by emotions I mean the entity in question can feel different emotions, The Guest can be angry or sad or curious, the thing cannot do any of that

#

he's just blank

lyric zephyr
#

And again, we know for a fact what The Thing is unless the lore changes it
Which the AS would probably change it bc it’s dumb

strange lance
#

the AS already made act 3 real

#

I would not be surprised if they changed the thing

safe charm
#

The house is normal

strange lance

yeah cause the as and hn2 are barely connected despite being connected

shell gull

shell gull
lyric zephyr

The AS overwrites everything
It’s not connected to anything else it’s doing it’s own thing even if it sucks

safe charm
#

I dont understand what happend to hn 2 story why is it a mix of both canons

hazy slate
#

such as the unlucky coins

lyric zephyr
#

The AS just sucks for all the lore and media

#

Games books and all

safe charm
#

So what is even the main story anymore

lyric zephyr
#

The AS is

shell gull
#

Current HN2 is AS lore, The Guest origin is the same, and the story plays out the same just the Lore Exploration is a bit goofy.

lyric zephyr
#

HN2 and the AS don’t even take place in the same era anymore

shell gull
lyric zephyr
#

HN2 is 1998 and the AS is the 2010s

shell gull
#

HNVR, SN, HND and HE are carrying Old Lore, it’s the canon lore.

lyric zephyr
#

Nope not anymore, the AS takes priority

#

Alex said it’s the thing tying all the lore together

shell gull
#

Sorry to tell you this but

safe charm
#

Well old lore is still canon though

lyric zephyr
#

Alex lies I know but he works directly on the AS

#

He makes the big decisions on it

#

Above the writers making thumbnails etc etc

#

He’s even told us how most of the story goes

#

I hate the AS but if there’s one thing Alex knows about it’s that

safe charm
#

Well its an AU not connected with the games except hn 2

shell gull
# shell gull Sorry to tell you this but

AS is just a way for Alex to make easy money off kids on YT through monetization and such, he only changes the lore to make it more comedic so kids come back to watch more, it’s just Alex’s fever dream, and there’s HNVR continuing it along with SN and soon to be HE and HND, Old lore is the canon, don’t let Alex get to you with AS, it did with me and it made by brain shit.

#

The only way for AS to be canon is for marketing on it other than YT

#

To go further

#

With new games and such following it

#

And we clearly see that’s not the case

#

And no

#

You can’t say HN2 counts

#

As it to was Old Lore

#

But it was quickly swapped last second

#

And with the feedback going on it might as well revert

lyric zephyr
#

The thing is the new games only follow it because they were being made before the lore change
HNVR has been in development for a long time

#

It’s based on the HN2 Alphas even down to the layout

safe charm
#

Well secret neighbor recently got old lore added

#

In the newest update

lyric zephyr
#

What old lore

safe charm
#

The Guest was summoned

But was disobedient

shell gull

Beta has Canon Lore elements

#

That’s why they called it spoiler free

safe charm

Why would he say they already writen the story yet

shell gull

As it was spoiler free from Current HN2

safe charm
#

Also in the beta they said

#

Wait a sec

#

This build doesnt containt spoilers yet expect everything to click together in the end

shell gull
#

Cuz of Canon lore

#

The ending was true to Canon lore

#

The elements were

safe charm
#

So like it cant be a whole different canon from the full game

shell gull
#

Quentin falls for the bait if the fake Aaron and is greeted by The Guest

safe charm
#

Im confused

shell gull
#

As he’s making Ted do things for him

#

That was the whole Canon lore thing

safe charm
#

Why would they change the story so late in production doesnt make sense

spark tulip
#

I thought the "fake Aaron" was just made because they didn't have a model for him.

shell gull
opal jackal
#

Old lore isn't canon and HN2 is cano- gets shot

shell gull
#

Here’s the deal

#

If AS really is canon

#

That makes all the games

#

Except HN2

#

Non canon

pale urchin
#

Nothings canon 🧌

shell gull
#

That makes 8 books non canon

safe charm

#

And 2 novels non canon

#

Tbh, I don't see why people are still trying to solve the lore or talk about it when its the same damn thing we talk in the chat 24/7

Yes

It failed

They could have pulled off a HN2 on VR but didn’t

If you have nothing to do in this server, don't try to bring up the same topic

#

Just give it a break, and think of an idea for this server

The only people bringing up old lore are old lore fans

Why are we even arguing

#

Idk, thats the same thing people do in this server 24/7 when it comes to lore

shell gull

#

But let's be honest, we need to wait

shell gull

Anyways

#

Talking abt lore

#

We have two sides of The Guest

A super smart manipulative power

#

And then a rampaging demon

pale urchin

Ok, thats something I have never heard of

I like both version to be honest

opal jackal
#

I think it's funny how so many people didn't like the books before AS but now everyone loves the books

shell gull

#

And god

#

I appreciate them a lot

#

After seeing AS

shell gull
#

During that time I was the top notch for a while

pale urchin
#

I prefer the super smart and maniputive guest because

  1. He is not your ordinary spooky creature that would run away everytime you get near him
  2. He isn't what you expect, you expect him to be some demon that is trying to catch you or whatever, but instead it is some creature that would manipulate you, and have swarm of crows to come up to you, giving the sign that the guest is here
safe charm
#

This poster give me manipalutive entity

#

Not rampaging demon feels

safe charm
#

So how was original hn 2 supposed to play out

#

Do we know

shell gull
#

I’m short, The AS Guest is just, the cult wanted a resort for power, decided to summon the god they believe in, end up summoning The Guest, lock him in the attic to make him obedient, end up being disobedient and runs away, and is now in a rampage in town.

safe charm
#

Wait what if hn 2 full game has an outdated

#

Story

shell gull
#

Nah

#

Gotta go

safe charm
#

Alex Said alpha 1.5 and demo was made after

#

The final games content got locked in

#

So maybe

safe charm
pale urchin
#

It is a new and modern story made by Alex

#

He is trying to replicate hn1 original story where Mr Peterson was at one point a killer, and trying to mix in the old lore

safe charm
#

Hm

thanks i remember asking befor but i wanted to confirm

#

in book 6 Norman Darby says he told his secrets to someone named Roth, was that jay, or someone else with a similar last name

shell gull
#

@tacit meteor

tacit meteor
#

I'm here

shell gull
#

There is no person behind the mask

#

He’s an entity

#

Created by the emotions of Mr. Petersons mind

tacit meteor
#

That makes sense

#

It's good to see he appeared in the TV game

#

I meant vr

#

My bad

#

Who do you think knocks you out at the end of hello neighbor 2?

teal imp
#

hn2 has no story so idk and I dont care

#

hn2 cant really be considered canon tbh

tacit meteor
#

Good point

#

But it just makes me curious

#

Who did it?

#

And why

#

Well I know why

#

Just who did it

#

I mean it can be guest Guest

#

But it can be anyone

#

It could be the Mayor

#

We just dont know

#

Well I guess we have to wait

teal imp
#

mayor is the leader of the cult

#

the cult HATES ted

#

why would he protect ted?

#

the most likely person to do this is the missing journalist

#

who is an enemy of the cult..

shell gull
#

Yeah but In HN2 he’s dead

shell gull
#

The biggest question I got is who is smarter: Ted or Bruce Wayne

#

I was gonna say Bruce but

#

Ted is very smart

#

We just barely see it

pliant estuary
shell gull
#

While Teds was to save a career Bruce’s was for vengeance

ancient nymph
#

I have a question, does The Guest kill Ted in GN2??

#

because if The Guest is an entity created by Ted's emotions, why would he kill Ted??

ancient nymph
#

Also, what do the HN2 tapes mean? And the secret room under the golden apple fountain??

ancient nymph
silver vine
#

Thing couldnt do that

silver vine
pulsar inlet
#

Y’a des français ?

silver vine
#

cuz Adelle and Roger tried to expose them

#

thats why they always had bad luck

glacial whale
#

Ok can someone explain which lore is cannon?

#

I’ve heard the old lore and new lore and just HN2 but which is cannon?

hazy slate
# shell gull Created by the emotions of Mr. Petersons mind

This is NOT CONFIRMED! Don't introduce new people to the lore with theories and treat them as fact, instead say "I personally believe that [Insert theory here]" When talking about theories, I'm sorry if I sound rude but you really shouldn't treat this theory as fact until it is confirmed. (And yes I know this is #lore-discussion but you were using the theory to help introduce someone to the lore without stating it's a theory at all)

teal imp
#

old lore is canon to
hn1
hnhs
SN
HE
HND
HNVR

#

while new lore only with the cartoon and only the cartoon

glacial whale
#

And HN2 is by itself?

teal imp
#

hn2 cant be canon to anything because the game states multiple times that its in 1996

#

while the As takes place in like the 2010s

#

with the smartphones

#

Quentin has a smartwatch in hn2 so thats a bit weird

#

hn2 refferences bosco bay and gn2 which are old lore

#

with old lore dates

#

hn2 just doesnt really fit into anything

#

the main issue with hn2 is that Aaron is still with his dad

#

while in hnvr that ties in well with old lore implies that he is either dead or captured by the guest

glacial whale
#

Thanks for explaining

spark tulip
#

We've only seen the watch being used as an alarm clock and to see the time.

#

But mostly to see the time because the alarm clock is only used in nightmare 1, I believe.

#

So, yeah, it's not a smartwatch.

ancient nymph
#

Can anybody tell me which things are canon and which are not??

teal imp
teal imp
ancient nymph
#

Are now the years in HN lore changed??

teal imp
teal imp
#

it doesnt make sense with the games at all

ancient nymph
#

I think the most important thing the AS will do is introduce the concept of the Guest

#

I have a question about GN2, does the Guest kill Ted, enter his body, or he is a 2nd personality of Ted?

safe charm
#

Smh?

spark tulip
#

Why do you always say "smh"?

ancient nymph
safe charm
#

At least I hope so

ancient nymph
#

I think the Guest could be like Ted's 2nd personality or something like that

#

then the fight Ted has with Guest in GN 2 could be a mental fight

#

but this "theory" is just me trying to give a meaning to that strange fight

#

I'm thinking about Guest and Theodore like what Sherlock Holmes and Moriarty are

safe charm
#

The intro

#

Debunks that

#

Same with hnvr

ancient nymph
# safe charm The intro

ok, now I think that the Guest is an entity made by Ted's emotions or traumas, I mean, something like the shadow in HN 1 that haunted Nicky in act 3 and 4

shell gull
safe charm
#

Is the guest actually physical

#

In hnvr

#

He seems like a ghost

#

I’m confused

shell gull
shell gull
safe charm
#

In one cutscene

shell gull
#

As of now Entities of Fear or Trauma are only in your mind.

ancient nymph
shell gull
safe charm
shell gull
#

I clarified that only The Thing entity’s are mind things

#

They are still real

#

But only affect the mind

safe charm
#

Did he just pop up

shell gull
safe charm
#

In reality

#

All of a sudden

shell gull
ancient nymph
safe charm
#

We don’t get to see

shell gull
#

They went through weird holes or doors and they end up there

#

All of the nightmare type cutscenes are in the nest in VR

safe charm
#

When he meet guest

shell gull
shell gull
ancient nymph
safe charm
#

So how do you imagine the guest was created

#

Did he just spawn

#

From inside mr Peterson

#

Smh

ancient nymph
shell gull
# safe charm So how do you imagine the guest was created

He popped up, only The Thing as of now grows and most likely same with The Guest, but when they get out of blob form have to choose they’re form, The Guest formed in the G.A.A.P. As Ted hanged there a lot, and saw the G.A.M. First and took its form.

#

Best conclusion we have

safe charm
#

I hope the manifestation is still canon

#

I don’t like guest

#

Being a demon

#

Summoned

hazy slate
ancient nymph
shell gull
safe charm
#

Spying on the cult

#

During a ritual

shell gull
#

We literally here him get summoned in them

safe charm
#

It sounds like

#

Maybe they captured him

shell gull
#

We know it’s a summon because

safe charm
#

And was trying to sacrifice him or something

shell gull
#

All of his vocals are just echos but the last one was very straight to the source

#

Fuss meaning he pooped up out of thin air

#

So he was summoned via rituals

ancient nymph
#

the crows hate Ted, so, maybe they give a physsic form to his pain, in order to give him even more

safe charm
#

Maybe they just powered the guest

#

Up

#

With a ritual

shell gull
#

That would be stupid

#

No offense

ancient nymph
#

but, what do HN2 tapes mean??

shell gull
#

That just sounds really dumb

shell gull
safe charm
#

The guest should be a being that isn’t

#

Summoned or anything In my opinion

#

He should have basically just created himself

shell gull
# shell gull Well

There’s the old tapes which is basically The Guest getting summoned, The new ones which is M.J. Recording all of his investigations as he follows Quentin’s footsteps of figuring out the Cult secrets before it leading him to his death.

safe charm
#

So in old lore

#

What was his goal

#

The guest

shell gull
#

Well

#

He was VERY smart

#

And though like 10 steps ahead

ancient nymph
#

for what I know, in a tape we hear thw rollercoaster that killed Mya, so maybe the tape in which we hear the Forest Protectors "summoning" the Guest could just be a recorded ritual they made with the luck device

ripe berry

Comes from

ripe berry
safe charm
#

I heard another theory

shell gull
# safe charm What was his goal

His main goal is to make Teds emotions worse to juice up more, but then started to manipulate people to spread more, and then he started to take over RB and Etc.

safe charm
#

From you

ancient nymph
ripe berry
ripe berry
#

I don't really know for sure where the Guest comes from

shell gull
shell gull
#

He first in the Lore appears in G.A.A.P.

#

Which makes sense as that’s where he got his form.

safe charm
#

In HE?

shell gull
safe charm
#

No but like what game

ripe berry
#

People believe it's Manifestation stuff but at the same time it just doesn't make sense to me how the Guest could have so much power if he's a Manifestation, but I don't know for sure

ripe berry
#

with the eyes covered up with tape

safe charm
#

Once

ripe berry
#

Implying this to be where the guest gained it's form

ripe berry
ancient nymph
#

all this talking could end up being stupid when the AS finally introduces the Guest's concept

ripe berry
#

Oh it was some kind of cut HN1 Power-Up like the Super Throw or Double Jump I'm pretty sure

shell gull
#

I’d imagine the reason why he’s such an Apex predator is because

#

He’s different from other manifestations

#

He thinks more ahead

ripe berry
shell gull
#

For Ex: The Thing, all it did was just torment Nicky nothing else, while The Guest didn’t have one mission but many and always thought of good strategies to accomplish them.

shell gull
shell gull
#

There’s Two canons AS isn’t the real canon one

As of now at least

ancient nymph
ancient nymph
shell gull
shell gull
#

He’s a demon going rampage

#

There

ancient nymph
#

a, I don't like that concept

shell gull
#

In AS he isn’t smart or anything

#

Just an angered demon

ancient nymph
#

what a bad concept

#

I preffer that Guest concept just being canon in the AS lore

#

in my opinion, the physsic repressentation of Ted's pain is better

shell gull
#

Entities of manifestation work more

ancient nymph
#

then why is he related to Ted?

shell gull
ancient nymph
#

so, he gets power from pain, and because Ted suffers a lot he haunts him?

there are 2 different versions of book 1, the one that came out in august is different, when it describes Mya it says she has "dark hair like her mothers" but it was changed after hide n seeks launch to "red hair like her mothers" random little fact I learned recently

I doubt that'll happen

question, how can mr peterson transform into a child

eternal mica
#

is the forst protactors and guest same person

wicked heath
#

no

#

bc forest protectors are a cult. The guest, hes something much more

round badger
#

also who is the guest

wicked heath
#

its hard to say

#

maybe some other ppl can give you their interpretations

round badger
#

how can mr peterson transform into a child

eternal mica
#

so then the books describe the forest protectors to look similar to guest

#

who is the guest really

bleak spear
#

It could be him but its more likely the missing journalist, the proportions match him more than they match mith

snow mauve
#

I think he's just some Manifestation of Aaron and Ted's emotions

They just imagined the neighbor turning as a kid cuz children reasons, while in reality it's fake

#

It was up on Amazon can anyone tell me they have this version of Missing Pieces(?)

#

Give me some context perhaps

wait

#

this could have been an early version of book 1

#

if I had to guess

hazy grotto
#

Yeah I mean I know that

#

Sorry it's just I'm very giddy on this

Cause I love the Nicky trilogy so much

So for me this is like gold

I'll try and keep updates on this

this like, all the way to the end now

ripe berry
#

It's a preview of the book. It could be wildly different from the final version for all we know

wicked heath
#

but its almost the same paragraph

#

like, 'Hello Readers. Im Nicky and rn, I'm in the middle of a park, cause a friend told me to go there after basically not seeing them at all for days'

#

great intro

ripe berry
#

also due to being a preview they may have cut out most of the book

#

We don't really know much other then this being a preview of the book so we can't really say why it's near the end of the book unless we have the entire preview

When does gn2 take place?

snow mauve

Rd is like 2020s

Gn2 takes place before that

So how did emotions

Lol

shell gull

Also when was guest

#

Created

#

Or born

shell gull

Pre Act 1

Sometime during Books 2-3 I’d say
