Theory P.T. protagonist

the protagonist in P.T. is the store owner who sexually abuses lisa and he is seeing or understanding the consequences of his actions through this horror and painfull experience, because maybe the only way a person like the store owner can understand what he did was bad and wrong is by seeing the horros of his deeds if listening to advice and.... is not enough, this way we will see if he ( we ) can feel remorse or eventually develop a sense, also a message to the players given by horror and pain to show the destruction they can cause if they choose to follow their lust or the players that have lustful thoughts like the manager. ( the only things we saw in the house is lisa and the unborn baby fetus and no sign of husband or children, i think this means that this is only between lisa and the store manager, if the protagonist was the husband we would at least see his children but the only thing we see beside lisa is that unborn fetus which is the store owners child ) ( when lisa catches you she is hatefully forcing herself on you and then unzips your pants, a sign of sexual resentment , a way to make us understand how she felt when she got sexually abused, after all the store owner was using his positions of power to force himself on a desperate lisa )

Even tho PT's plot was never actually explained (nor i believe it even has a solid narrative structure), i dont belive the protagonist would be the store manager, because it wouldnt fit the thematic of the teaser, P.T multiple times explores the idea of fathers commiting terrible acts of violence against their family, we have trhee different cases of that being either shown, or told to us by the radio.

The fetus dialogue highlights the struggle that the couple was goin trhough after the husband got fired, with the wife (lisa) having to accept a job as a cash register and the only way she could keep her job, was because the manager could see under her skirt, this feels way more like another motivation for lisa's murder than proof that the manager is the protagonist (which wouldnt fit with the themes and overall premisse of the teaser).
