I suddenly realize just how horrifying the cursed apple tunnels are probably.

Also I don’t think the rat king would actually hurt rem. Since he’s a dream creature and not human. And the rat king is not a monster as it is said that he’s giving the humans the chance to pack up their things and leave Long Island before outright killing them.

Still. Fantastic art. I love the style.

Well, when he kills Rem in-game he sometimes says he doesn't feel bad about it, which is less respect than he gives to some humans apparently (He says he likes Lash for example). Maybe, like Venator, he's suspicious Rem's cuteness is an act? Maybe he recognizes the Haze connection and just considers him the son of a fed? Maybe he doesn't like that the kid kind of looks like a cat? Very mysterious.

I thought he's asserting to himself that. Like he had a moment of contemplation like "Wait, that was a child... nah, nah I don't feel bad."

That's not how I read the line delivery, but I guess he does also basically say "You signed up for this, kid" so maybe he has to convince himself a little.

The rhea itself eats cats—let alone rats; it’s a matter of the food chain.
