something I just realized about the beginning at the gas station

The people there, are we intended to believe they've been doing the same thing as Justify and Cecille? Like, maybe they're descendants, or maybe they were friends back in the time of being in their original bodies, and learned how from them? Because that would explain the line by the door, the record playing, the pictures. Would be more stories to tell. Though this is the last thing we'd need a franchise of.
