Here is my latest out of the box thinking. I do not believe it, but I am still thinking

Chapter 1. Michael:
Do you know you have am infectious Laugh
Now that Riley spoke to them in their own language they probably understood that shit
She seems to be their behavior "starts in the nose, ends in the teeth"
When we first meet Skitles, he only responds to Riley

Yea, this is a reach, but I do believe the chapter 1reference are prophetic
