“I requested them concerning the query mark over [Nida’s] mom instantly. That was the very first query I requested Charlie and Bisha.”

The “query mark” over Nida’s mom refers back to the standing of her psychological well being. When Gaap first emerges from the talisman in his demonic kind to fulfill Nida, she glances over at a photograph of her deceased mom and remarks upon how folks thought her “mum was loopy.” The episode by no means reveals why “folks” might need thought that. Each element about Nida’s mother, together with why she could have been deemed as loopy is left as much as the viewer’s creativeness.
