THE HUNTER LITTLE NIGHTMARES FREE
Even worse, this implies that the Thin Man can't even be free from his situation by offing himself, instead only being able to either get Six out of the picture or eliminate his past self to prevent all of his suffering in the first place. In other words, the Thin Man isn't trying to warn Mono he's trying to give himself a Mercy Kill! The very fact that getting caught by him results in a Game Over means that you probably die. If you interpret the Thin Man as a future version of Mono, then that makes him hunting down Mono even more frightening. Likewise he might be keeping Six around as his daughter, which would also explain why hes so aggressive about chasing her and Mono down. He sets up his stuffed corpses around the house in family poses - a family sitting around a table for dinner, and a grandmother knitting in the attic. She demonstrates a knowledge of the Hunter's property while escaping with Mono. He has provided her with a music box for entertainment. The markings Six has made on the walls of her prison suggest the Hunter has locked her up for at least fifty days. Alternatively, he could have been a part of a group of murderers that shared blood ties that he eventually decided to kill and stuff, most likely For The Evulz. Perhaps instead of first being his abode, one isolated family of (at least) four (Father, Mother, Grandmother, and Child) built their home in the forest and eventually became his first victims, a feat he immortalized through his skill in taxidermy. The surrounding area also has several smaller buildings, sheds, and walkways. The Hunter, despite his intense isolation, has a house that could easily accommodate several people, most notably a dining room with a large table and at least three chairs. Mono being unable to save her when the Thin Man came for her, and destroying her precious music box likely contributed to another few reasons as to why Six decided to abandon Mono in the end.
Also, while Six may not have aged, she may have mentally been in the warped reality for a long time to be able to become that twisted creature that Mono had to fight in the end. How long had Mono been sitting in that chair that he eventually warped into the Thin Man? The secret ending shows Six exiting the screen likely only a few minutes after she let go of Mono, so it's likely for Mono that dimension is a Year Inside, Hour Outside. It's unclear how much Six suspected about Mono becoming the Thin Man, but every time he tries to go down the corridor to get to the door, Six is the one to pull him right back out of the television and cut off his connection. If you think about it the reason the teacher has a long pultruding neck is that it mirrors the lingering presence of a strict teacher who is always bending over looking over your shoulder to see how your behaving. There's also the fact that as the Thin Man chases Mono, some moments, he actually pauses to watch as Mono struggles to escape him, like he's merely chasing Mono away from something and not outright going after him. This could hint towards the Thin Man actually being a grown-up Mono who's trying to stop his cycle of saving Six and being ultimately betrayed from happening again.
Mono is also the only child character who has his face visible unlike Six and the others before him.
Mono's collectibles mainly being hats may be a nod towards his unfortunate future. Mono and the Thin Man have many similarities to one another, from their ability to warp through televisions to both being the only characters wearing hats.However, one of the toys around is a wind-up frog toy, and the girl bully likely not really noticing much of a difference was trying to wind up the frog with the key to play with it. Now, this may just be the bullies abusing animals since a bully earlier in the level was cruelly cutting up the frog's insides. One of the girl bullies can be seen past a gate with a key Mono and Six need to advance and she's turning it into a dead frog.No wonder they want and willingly go for the surgery. Later on, you see how the city has warped the figure of the people living there. Before the game dropped, the doctor was said to be giving the people of the Pale City enhancements and they came voluntarily.
