boy and the bath

Guilt, also known as The Boy, is a creature seen in "the boy and the bath," released by Doctor Nowhere on Mar 30, 2024. Guilt/The Boy is a tall, slender, and gangly figure, with a deteriorating neck. It also has a head that seems almost flattened or sliced, as well as what also appears to be roots or mold/lichen sticking out of it’s "throat." It is implied that he/it is the manifestation of the guilt that its parent faces. Presumably, this being died within the bathtub due to the parents negligence. It is most likely that Guilt was an infant, or slightly older, due to the fact that Guilt is shown laying in a crib next to the parent at the end of the video, and also due to the existence of a crib and toys within the bedroom. In the video, we are shown that Guilt resides in the bathroom, next to the tub. By the voice lines, we can tell that Guilt is most likely a representation of the guilt that the parent feels after leaving their child within the bathroom by themselves, evident by the tub overflowing, and pretending that it never happened. Guilt either is a hallucination created by the parent, hating themselves for what they had done to their baby, or a physical manifestation of the previously mentioned attributes. It is also possible that the reasoning of the crib was for a child that the parent had taken care of and that the being shown in the video did something to make that child disappear/pass away. Furthermore, the parent could be expecting to have a baby, and that this is a result of anxiety created by inner thoughts; the parent worrying that their child may die during or shortly after birth.
