The Flickering Man is wrong though.

You can get the will to fight back. Some people just take more than others.

You managed to bring down the eyeball monster. You managed to stand up to the laundry lady as well. You even tried to stand up to four opossums.

You're getting the will to fight back slowly, over time.

Go to dinner with Grayson. Feel it out.

Part of me doubts that his father is involved in this stuff. With as dangerous as these creatures are, why would he risk his son's life or allow his son to take that risk? I mean, unless he doesn't care at all.

My bet is that the University's board is the real problem here.

Unless.... his father made a deal with the - inhabitants - that they can do what they like, within reason, if they leave his son alone. Still a risk but I don't think people really think through bargains with the other world.

TBF That would explain why Grayson always seems so casual about the resident weirdos. He only seems worried when it's Ashley or someone else taking risks. He might still be mostly in the dark about what's going on though, apart from being pretty sure that he'll be safe from it.

Hmmm like maybe the board has got some kind of thing going on with these creatures and the president is just having to play along? That could change the dynamic a bit. I'll consider it... Not really keen on the idea of going to dinner at his house for a lot of reasons tbh.
