Oh shoot I remembered one last one! There’s several parts in Alex’s episode where the speech bubbles of the voices start to blend in with what real people are saying and it took me really off guard. You really feel like you are in his position losing track of which voices are which

The mystery/discovery process of the book and you’re like. Oh. I really get Alex and how he feels now. Because I also felt justified as I came to conclusions.
You hear all book Alex had an episode with a knife. And the reveal of how sad and panicked and lonely he was. And it was just a butter knife

Each characters POV having a very distinct voice and approach
The tonal color for each location and scene was very good. Particularly the warm tones of the flower field.
It’s brought up in the story itself, but the story walks you through the mindset of the hallucinations and justification through

(Again it reminds me a lot of how we had to talk to my grandma as her dementia worsened).
All the characters design and the art was so spot on. The use of the heavy shadows to morph background objects into gradually more and more scary things was really clever

Side effects of medication being talked about bluntly and medication not being demonized (if I had a quarter for every ‘I got rid of my meds cuz I actually didn’t need them!’ Story…’
The importance of the people being understanding and not fighting against Alex’s view

Aka Jamie talking about their mom made Alex apply those opinions to himself
Alex’s episode was illustrated so impactfully and so good
The old lady with Dementia which is kind of a precursor to the whole thesis of ‘mental illnesses don’t make someone evil’ idea. Like a connection I noticed

The beehive haircut demon with the honeycomb face.
The design of the daisy eye demon.
As a twin the relationship between Alex and Jamie was fantastic
The attention paid to the fact that when people talk negatively about types of people or conditions it can affect those around them
