Who killed Marcus's Fish?


Who killed the fish?

reply

Poseidon ?

reply

I was going to say that it probably just died, but this Poseidon theory seems more likely.

And for the record, I never thought you were cool. I only thought you were a lesbian.

reply

It didnt just die someone knocked over the fish tank and the stones were spilt all over the floor...

reply

Not necessarily. I assumed that Marcus knocked over the bowl in anger upon discovering his fish was dead.

reply

Maybe he killed it himself

reply

I highly doubt he killed it himself.

reply

I think it just died of natural causes. My cousin used to have pet fishes until they all died from overfeeding, so that's another possibility.

reply

Very possible then.

reply

It's quite possible the fish killed itself. I certainly don't recall Grace sweeping the fishbowl for scissors.

reply

Marcus would be my guess.

reply

The shark obviously.

reply

I think Marcus killed the fish. Probably, because it was getting closer, and closer for him to leave the home. And that's why he attempted suicide.

reply

I don't think anyone killed it, I think it just died. Fish don't really have a long life expectancy. I know someone said that Marcus probably killed it and then tried to commit suicide, but even if that's the case, I don't think he would say that he thinks Luiz did it and then be outside of Luiz's room after cutting his wrist.

I think the fish died, he freaked out upon seeing it because it's like a bad omen to his upcoming day of leaving the facility. He knocked the bowl over, started to write a song, smashes the bowl, takes a shard of glass with the intent of probably harming Luiz as he gave him a hard time and he already thinks he did it, but gets there and probably can't do it and instead decides that he'd rather die in the facility, the place where he feels safe instead of be part of the world where the woman who should have loved him harmed him.
