the "how it kil-" part is so well done since it's not only a moment where he realizes he's going to have to kill it, but also that Sasha has been gone for a while without him even realizing ... oOF

[emilyneff]

My soul left my body when Jon's voice dies: "- how it works, how it ki...."

[cawareyoudoin]

Oh no.... The terrible realization... The grief... I cannot...

[BunnyLove]

Jon sounded like he was on the brink of tears :(

[Vi_Vi_]

"I don't know what this-....I know exactly what this means" and "how it works, how it ki-" both just wrecked me. The voice acting in this series is TOO GOOD

[ZaphodJan]

This lady hated her mother so much that no paranormal monstrosities could rewrite her memories

"You're not Jim. Jim is not Asian"

[Stormheartjack]

Two minutes in and I realize what Jon meant when he said he knew where to start at the end of the last episode. Finally he’s catching on!

[jsk-art]

I don't think we've ever heard Jon more terrified and upset than in this tape.

_"There is a stranger claiming to be my mother"_ Coraline? Is that you?

Also: I really like the mention of changelings.

[lizziejones]

The way the statement just starts "There is a stranger claiming to be my mother, " made me want to throw up

[mjamin]

the creepiest thing about this is that it mirrors reality. there is mental disorder where someone _firmly_ believes that someone they know has been replaced by a complete stranger-- but nobody else seems to have noticed. hopefully, it _is_ just a disorder, and not something. else.
it's called capgras syndrome

[Companion]

Poor Jon. This is not gonna help with his paranoia

[cantaloupegodling]

The way he trailed off saying "how it kills" in that second he properly realised the fact Sasha is actually dead.

[jadynnkotch]

nope. i refuse to believe sasha is dead. i love her too much to accept that.

[josef]

For your information, St Peter's Church was designed by Thomas Graham Jackson, a pupil of Sir Gilbert Scott, who was the architect mentioned in "Foundation" as the pupil of Robert Smirke.

[Stormheartjack]

Realizing Sasha is actually probably like dead and not mind controlled like I originally assumed

[crusherdust]

THE VOICEACTING OF THIS SERIES IS SO GOOD

I always thought that the Not!People had some sort of magic that prevents the people that the originals closely and consistently associated with from noticing a difference, but it doesn’t affect people who only know them from occasional interaction. It kinda is confirmed in this statement, where the dad who is constantly around his wife wouldn’t notice, but the daughter (who has been estranged for a while) noticed immediately.

[XerxesTexasToast]

Being too much like your mom, to the point of friction, hit close to home for me.
