>>101851546Oh yeah, we've had long writings here about how the Cul-de-sac is purgatory.
The gist of it is every child with a different colored Tongue is dead, they all came at various times to the cul-de-sac and are trapped in an endless, timeless summer in a fixed location, with their faults from life amplified.
The Kankers have normal tongues, because they aren't dead, and are in fact demons.
