While examining Gracie’s skeleton, I noticed that the hole in her face was intentionally located below her brain, seemingly designed to sever her spinal cord and prevent her from controlling her body. I then wondered whether anyone had seen Candy getting stabbed. It struck me as a disturbing coincidence that Candy was also stabbed in the mouth, which could symbolize her final moments of losing control. According to historical accounts of the French Revolution, when a head is decapitated, the brain remains active for about eight minutes before shutting down. I believe Gracie was paralyzed, possibly witnessing her own body being manipulated or extracted, which would have caused severe psychological trauma. There’s a strong chance she was disoriented during this time.

Additionally, phototype doesn't care whether organs are stabbed or damaged, it uses Poppy gel because of its ability to regenerate cells within organs, though it doesn't restore mental function. In the skull, the three holes are visible, and phototype indeed had his fingers clenched together in a cone shape. Many believe Baba’s hooves struck her face, but he likely did not mean to kill her, as he had a special plan for her. This is why he and his little associates took Gracie to phototype for the procedure, metaphorically 'taking her own medicine.'

Also, what doesn't help is Phototype’s scrap kill animation, which showed him aiming at the head, so I'm not surprised he knows how to keep his enemies alive and harvest them. I was surprised by how small his puncture damage was, which could be mistaken for little critters. However, the line of bone near the hole makes sense as a final blow. However, I like to think he aimed for her mouth if Gracie knew he was going to kill her, so her last resort was to insult him bc he was a kid and kid anger is easy to pull off. Therefore, Gracie might have said something about Poppy, and he did the final blow to her face. 

I just noticed something.
