Your friends weren't very nice, Otis had noticed that quickly. They were snobby, they called his art gross, they picked on Rufus and Tiny, they were mean to Baby. They were disgusting to him, because they were normal.

You were not normal. That's something else Otis noticed quickly.

You complimented Mama and Baby's eccentric clothes, you played cards with Tiny before dinner even though he couldn't say a word. And you thought his art was magnificent.

"It's important for darker art to exist. It says something about humanity." You'd said. He found himself wanting to keep you alive. However, based on their table manners, he'd gladly torture your friends.
