And so, in a way, Kevin was able to scare off the Wet Bandits once they saw movement around the house, followed by it being spontaneously engulfed in flames. They left never to be seen again, at least not in the suburbs. Rumors of robberies in nearby neighborhoods were heard soon after, though. Kevin's charred body was recovered hours later once the firefighters were able to extinguish the fire. Her mother, who luckily arrived to the scene at the exact same time, was able to give a positive body match. Merry Krampus, everyone!

@burnin8able also his hobby of brushing past objects with his character's shoulder, which if he approached them directly probably highlight to be interacted with. I bet that ladder next to the cabinet with paint cans isn't just part of the scenery. If he plays again and finds out you can highlight the ladder he'll be yelling at it "but I DID! I tried before and it didn't do anything!" Just like the part of the hutch he brushed past 10 times in the game where you play as a cockroach.
