I believe they were the other people captured by the island, the people Anders found in the other world.

I don't remember noticing anything. I'd need to check.

I meant I misunderstood this posting: My interpretation is that Eli was holding his hands pressed against his stomach just like his mother used to do. When I read your second posting, I re-read the first and saw what you had meant: which is elaborated in the now improved version of the second postin...

Let me re-phrase like this:
Did Hakan penetrate Eli ?

If Håkan "succeeded" raping Eli is a question of definition. I could be more specific, but would it be against the forum rules ?

"What happened to Mama?"


What is this

Just like. . .

I just can't understand how it fits.

In the scene where Hakan tries to rape Eli, when the stick pierces his eye it says: Then Hakan thrust himself forward and at the same time dropped his head down. With the soft sound of a wooden spoon pushed down into thick porridge, the sharp end of the stick went into his eye. Later, just after Eli...
