It explains why Charlie feels as though Sammy is still there - he never died and it is she who is perpetually lost and shut off away from him. It explains why Henry was always so sad - his daughter was "back" but would never be entirely normal. ![]() This would explain why Aunt Jen went to such lengths to keep the house in the family - it contained the components her niece would need to reach adulthood. As she grows physically, she needs different or larger robotic elements to keep herself alive. like any other human, but she may be somewhat similar to Michael in the games: she should be dead, but she's not. I don't buy the idea that she's an animatronic as others have theorized, as she experiences emotions with physical reactions, such as breathing, gasping, crying, etc. I think the closets contain some type of robotic elements that are necessary to keep Charlie alive. This part I'm not sure about, but remember the three closets in Charlie's childhood bedroom? Remember Charlie thought her aunt might have returned to the house just once to retrieve some of her old clothes? Remember the locked middle closet but the "Big Girl Closet" that was open in 1995? Remember the part of a microchip with one of Charlie's hairs wrapped around it that she found wedged under the door of the locked middle closet? Remember how Henry had once told Charlie she wouldn't need the other closets until she was bigger?

He moved her to a new house and everyone in town assumed he had lost Sammy. Henry, meanwhile, had found Charlie that night, either dead or nearly so and brought her back with his robotics know-how. Henry's wife immediately took their surviving child, Sammy, and left because the loss of Charlie sent Henry over the edge. I think Charlie was the one taken from the costume closet that Halloween night. Remember how Henry never talked about Sammy or even mentioned his name? Remember how he always looked at Charlie as though he loved her very much, but her very existence made him sad? Remember how Charlie refused to let John read the microfiched article about the kidnapping aloud? Remember how the headline simply said "TOT SNATCHED" without any reference to Sammy's name? I really didn't get that impression at all. Some who read the book in advance theorized that this meant Charlie was either an animatronic or the male twin. ![]() On second thought, typing my entire review will take a while, so here's my theory on "I didn't take him.
