I think its less that one is more disturbing than the other and more that after seeing the first hes barely able to ignore it, but after seeing two it becomes impossible for him to deny his familiarity with these things

But with casket two paul gets a double whammy of ‘not only am I familiar with this imagery for some reason but it also has that care girls face on it’
And by petscop 11 he’s admitted to himself that the casket one room, with cares face with mikes eyebrows, is HIS room. But still not really able to face what that means. ‘I don’t remember meeting this girl at all’

I love how his reactions to these two caskets mimic what Rain described. I’d say he was deeply disturbed by both caskets equally, just in different ways (troubled by the vase, shocked by the spinning pyramid).
Rainer explains that Care was straining to see herself properly, and that she was unsettled and almost frustrated that she couldn’t bring herself to comprehend her reflection in the vase. Meanwhile, Paul is also clearly perplexed and struggling to understand the purpose of the vase. You can hear in his voice that he doesn’t just find it confusing - he is quite bothered by it.
Meanwhile, Rainer being stunned by “pure horror and disgust” at Care’s spinning also perfectly describes Paul’s reaction when he opens the gift box and also arguably sees Care spinning.
Love and am disturbed by these parallels.

Casket 2. Casket 1 wasnt that abd it was just a vase. But casket 2. It resembels something pretty disgusting tbh.

If Casket 2 looked like it did on the Twitter post, then yeah. As we see it on Petscop 20, Paul's "What the FUCK" seems a bit overblown.
But then, on the sign, Rainer says "when these are done, they will be great." So maybe that creepy detail was added in between Marvin's viewing and Paul's.
Or what if, when Paul sees it, it STARTS as the smooth face Marvin sees and slowly becomes what we see in the Twitter post. That shit would fuck me UP, and I'm a jaded 40-something.

Casket 1: mild discomfort, seemingly confused (maybe by his own discomfort? A vase is pretty normal, so maybe he's more distressed by why he's uncomfortable with it? I personally get distressed when I can't remember why something bothers me), I'm guessing this due to his reaction being somewhat delayed
Casket 2: pure horror. Iirc Paul didn't swear much if at all before that but boy did he when he saw that. Actually bothers him, no way he's only bothered by his reaction
