For what it’s worth, for most of my life I just thought that’s how shit went, that everyone looks real weird until I get a good look and their face resolves into two eyes, a mouth, and a nose. Only when I was watching Backrooms and I couldn’t get the still lifes to resolve, did I realize that someone else understood what was going on with me.

Still have no facial memory, so every time I see my wife is the first time.

And it’s not like I flinch at everyone I look at; rather, that’s just how people look, and Silent Hill is a bit less scary than it ought to be.
