Part 3/7:
After the Heelshires leave for vacation, the creepy atmosphere of the mansion begins to take hold. Greta experiences a series of unsettling events, such as hearing strange noises and waking from nightmares. Her experiences intensify after she discovers Brahms appearing to have emotions, with tears welling in his eyes—an impossibility for a doll.
Malcolm provides insights into Brahms' tragic backstory, revealing that the doll represents the memory of Mrs. and Mr. Heelshire's deceased son, who perished in a house fire. The doll serves as a coping mechanism for the grieving family. This revelation adds layers of complexity to Greta's understanding of her charge.
