If he was just unconscious, she'd prob just think he's sleeping, as it was night. Why else would his mom walk in and freak the fuck out. I'm almost certain it's a seizure though. They wrapped the story up quite acceptably in any interpretation in before your eyes I think I played "what remains of edith finch" after this and was so disappointed with that games ending compared to before your eyes. It's open to interpretation which when done well is a good thing and I think this game qualifies. The mother saying she couldn't breathe made me question things, but I suppose any mother might lose her breath seeing her sons heart rate monitor flatline. That would explain the mother not wanting to talk to him about the story in that scene where the father comes to talk to you no matter what you choose when the ferryman asks you to choose options because the mother knew he was deteriorating and was about to die any day. I see where you're coming from, and a 12 year old talking to the proverbial gatekeeper (ferryman) of hell or heaven might say anything, and the gravity he lent his fantasy while he was alive could carry over to the after-life especially since it ended so suddenly, and I don't think he was done writing his whole "grown-up" story when he died since it ended with him meeting the girl again and never fleshed out their life together. I will update the list as more stuff is analyzed/brought to attention. The list goes on, but there's nothing too major worth mentioning.We see orange juice in several scenes, this might be a representation of him being either bedridden or in the hospital as we see later in the game. One scene is when Ben picks up the toy boat and everything else disappears, as he is solely focused on this boat. It might be a representation of his heartbeat, or even heart monitor? We see the toy boat very often as well, with the ferryman, and as a physical toy in many scenes. We also see this when his mother "died", when he went up to speak. We see the metronome constantly, whether its' the "end" of a memory, or in many flashbacks relating to music. Very strong attachment to a few things, mainly the toy boat and the metronome.Hallucinates regularly, sees patterns that aren't there, we see this with the stars, his fake/fantasy life as an artist (this may be a dream? not sure).The red figure/design that gets worse over time, but goes away somewhat with medicine, and entirely away with a select few close people in his life.Appears to have a ventilator in the end.How this relates to everything else is unknown, but it could be cancer that has spread? ![]() In the scene where the doctor says to "wait 5 minutes" an x-ray of the lungs can be seen.Not quite sure what the final episode he had was (the one that killed him). Has an incident where he dies, usually seizures aren't fatal, but can be.Has an incident in his bed whilst typing a self-hating piece, I'm guessing a grand mal seizure, but I'm not 100% sure.After a few years in his life, his vision can become blurry and distorted, maybe it's a seizure, migraine, so on. ![]() We see in multiple flashbacks two large circles, representing a narrowed vision in the eyes.
