Extremely mild spoilers for the Obsidian video game Pentiment.

This has been driving me crazy and I don't know who else to talk to. I am not someone who consumes every scrap of Doughboys content. I love them, but don't hear everything, so it's very possible I am missing an obvious joke but I have to risk it.
