Nobody knows, Toby has done this before, and its best to just roll with it/ignore it

Well, the Shadow Crystals become Glass in the Light World, maybe where you smell that is a place where Shadow Crystals have been discarded.

I dont think it does. Glass made out of sand. Rotting is the process of microbes breaking organic matter down into its base parts. Unless there was some organic matter mixed in to the sand when the glass was being made I dont think glass can rot. It just breaks into smaller and smaller pieces. Im not a Glass man, just have basic chem knowledge.

It is an odd if powerful piece of flavour text tho. Maybe it will make more sense in the future.

it smells like nothing. unless its scented rotting glass. something rotting doesnt mean it has a smell ;) especially glass

it's metaphorical, glass can't rot. You're smelling an impossible smell, much like in Discworld magic radiates light that's a greenish-purple

I've been near a few very old porcelain dolls, and they just smelled like musty, chalky bathtubs. Porcelain is made out of clay, but I'd imagine glass kept in a damp underground area like the mansion basement could have a similar smell to it.

Glass doesn't really rot, since it's melted sand, but the player might be smelling the dust, other dirt, or even mold that has stuck to the glass over the past few decades in the case of Spamton.

We also aren't aware of Kris' level of chemistry experience (apart from that they're in high school, although I'm not sure that means anything since they don't seem to pay much attention in class).

TLDR: Which means that Kris they might be smelling what they think is rotten glass, but is really something else.
