Maybe I just enjoy exploring mental distress in fiction, but I think Moira Asylum could have done more to really push Garrett to his limits and really mess with his perception of reality and how he processes it. Especially with the 'missing year in Moira' theory.
Ghosts of patients/inmates seeing him through the keyhole and wondering why he came back, you shouldn't have come back. Finding the layout strangely familiar. This room is here, why do I know that, I shouldn't know that. At first thinking of the Archivist as a kindred soul, only for the cell to feel too familiar, and finds notes in his own handwriting, and god he remembers that sound, the clicking like a little mechanical heart that he simply has to have. And then the hallucination in the chair. Was that Erin's memory? Was it his? Some confusing bleed between them?
Have him come away from there even more disoriented than before, uncertain of what was and wasn't real. Shoving it all into the back of his mind because only Erin matters now and Northcrest has Erin, he needs to go back to Northcrest Manor, what happened here doesn't matter anymore.
I just wanna put him through a grinder and watch him suffer. I love him.
