      She lost her memory after killing the hooded man, then stepped on her recording device. So she knows that she killed a "person", but she doesn't know why. I don't think it lost it's ability to make her lose her memory after it died.

    What scared me the most about this….is that it reminded me of my dad who has early rapid onset dementia and he forgets everything who everyone is and completely misremembers events. At first it was just putting his clothes on backwards or putting the milk on top of the refrigerator instead of in it, and throwing crab leg shells on the floor instead of on his plate at the seafood restaurant….but now he is in a more dangerous phase the last 8 months. We have to be with him at all times because he has gone to the restroom at the doctors office and when he is finished he will just walk out the door and leave whomever drove him there wondering where he went. We have had to call the police to help look for him several times and he doesn’t cooperate with them. For example if you hand him something, 45 minutes later he will just go into a rage and accuse the person of throwing it at him or hitting him with it instead and will want to fight. He is only in his late 50s so he has strength and isn’t frail like most dementia patients. Mom got rid of his guns and has locked up the knives and hides the keys. He will be doing fine all day and we will go somewhere and out of nowhere he will freak out and not know who I am and thinks he is being kidnapped or something and call the police or get out of the car and start running. Sometimes he does remember who we are but he will be convinced that we are the evil imposter of ourselves and will freak out and make us prove we aren’t. The last three years of his life has been a horror movie for him and it is too much for my mom but she doesn’t want to put him in a facility as he has never been violent with her. It breaks mine and my brothers hearts watching it but it scared the hell out of us that he will one day hurt someone or my mom thinking they mean him harm. He had an in home care aid that used to come and help my mom but she quit after she came in the door one day and my dad started screaming at her to get the hell out of his house because he didn’t know who she was and thought she just walked in off the street to steal. I keep begging my mom to do something before it’s too late and he hurts someone but she is stubborn and believes that he will never forget who she is.

    I loved this short film!! I was trying to imagine myself in this situation and the doubt that would creep in. It would be hard not to be confused and think that maybe you're crazy. Maybe he is her brother. Or maybe he's not. The whole time I went back and forth with conflicting thoughts. So good!!!

    Except for one thing: Her initial reaction to waking up with no memory in a car with a mysterious man in the seat behind her was wholly unbelievable to me. Same with her reaction to the "play me" message, she just took it all as though it was only slightly off the norm.

      I'm not sure about personality, because that revolves around experiences and lessons, none of which she even remembers but I was definitely expecting some more reactions out of her as to why there's a tied up person in her car, that's frightening!

      I was searching a lot to find that one person who would realize this and point it out (there aren´t many of us). I thought I´m crazy for a moment.
      She literally said "Control agent Elizabeth Armstrong." That is like it was straight up taken from that world into the point where I would argue it could easily be part of it. The way recording informed her, the way she operated throughout the movie.I wonder whether it is just a coincidence or they took an inspiration from the game.

She stares into its eyes again when she swings, stands up in confusion to look at the hammer. So I’m assuming so. Meaning it’s more likely this is a creature of some kind if it’s able to erase her memory twice in mere seconds.
