Henry Stickmin was so tired. The entity drove all his choices, repeating sections of the timelines over and over with seemingly no reason. The little voice that the entity had sometimes cheered out in joy for no apparent reason. And it all started with a couple of not-so-innocent words. " Henry Stickmin, would you like to play a game?" ... 2 years into the ending, he still wondered if the entity was lying to him. --- Based off of my own playthrough of THSC, and many fanfics I've read.
