Mr. Earnshaw favored me. I had his affection.\n\nThe same affection that would’ve gone to Hindley had I not been there.\n\nI was still a poor child with nothing to my name, but… to this bastard, that affection was what mattered the most.\n\nExpensive augmentation procedures, his inheritance, all the Butlers who were to be in his service… none of that mattered more than his father’s love.\n\nI knew that. Even as a boy, I had a knack for sussing out these things.\n\nSo, whenever Hindley would provoke me with my relationship to Catherine, I always shot back at him using his craving for his father’s love.\n\n… That was the only way I could deny the truth that, at least in this manor, I was beneath him.\n\nIt must’ve been around then when he started blaming me for every single one of his misfortunes.\n\nThe fact that he never got that violin. The fact that his father stopped receiving his morning greetings.\n\nPerhaps… even when he lost the manor to gambling, when he learned that Catherine left nothing for him in her will… he might've blamed me still.\n\nRight. Maybe he did.\n\nI thought something was off when he started talking so boldly at me, not even realizing what a mess he'd become.\n\nNow… it looks like this blighter's just walking himself into hell.\n\nMaking himself look large and threatening, swinging his claws about with abandon… but I can see right through this façade.\n\nI see a poor, abandoned dog. Abandoned by Mr. Earnshaw, cast out from Wuthering Heights.\n\nA part of me just thinks he’s pathetic… but I also feel a bit of pity…\n\nTsk, all of that musing to say nothing in the end.

I think I saw a tail, too… It’s only gotten more unsettling to look at.\n\nMaybe it devoured a human or something. It’s got plenty of blood on its sharp and fearsome teeth that reminds me of a catfish's…\n\nActually, never mind that. There’s something weird about these things.\n\nThe monster snatched us up using its roots… stems… or whatever it is… like arms.\n\nAnd immediately devoured us like a starving beast.\n\nBut… after it devoured us, it immediately spat us back out like it tasted something awful.

Not that it could, given that I didn’t see any digestive tracts or any other organs for that purpose.\n\nBut it kept trying and trying… to shove something in its maws.\n\nNot because it’s hungry, not because it needs the nutrients…\n\nKnowing that its stomach, if it even exists, can’t be filled.\n\nMaybe, at the end of the day, this monster doesn’t even need to eat.\n\nMaybe it’s all about the desire to devour.
