      Loved the podcast but I have two things I’d like to discuss with you.
      First of all the case of Lisa not being real. As far as I remember all the human enemies are hostile because of the parasites (as seen with Sybil, nurses and doctors) and I think that the red stuff that can cure tge person with parasite is made of white dahlia, which is an ingredient of the drug that Lisa is addicted to. That’s why I always thought she hasn’t turned into a monster because of the drugs which slowed her transformation but couldn’t stop it completely. That’s why she was in the otherworld only.

      Secondly I don’t really think Kaufman would’ve sexually abuse Lisa. For me he’s a type of scum that is just extremely greedy and who hates being manipulated. But that opinion might be the result of me being ace I guess.

      So thanks again for the podcasts that help me get through another day at work.
