Granny and Janitor Married?

[Jess]

Hey think the Janitor and the Granny were a couple?It would explain why he hates thekids so much since you know, they kinda kiled his wife lol. Wild out there therory i know. But hey , could be true

How would the janitor even know what happened in the depths if he never went down there.

From what we've seen the janitor hasn't visited the depths once since the granny death.

And from this moment forward the janitor is pursuing six so we know he didn't go back after the kids capture.

I always felt they were somewhat related, then I thought up a theory that she might be a malnourished Guest left in the depths of the maw a really long time ago. And I don't think the Janitor hates the kids, he seems to just be doing his job and catching all the kids trying to escape, plus there's the fact that the Janitor is seen chasing children before you kill the granny.


On another note, it's possible to avoid killing the granny by quickly dragging a peice of wood over to the door and then climbing up it, avoiding the sequence entirely.

The janitor wraps up the kids and sends them to the chefs so they can be butchered and made dinner for a bunch of fat gluttons.

The janitor is not a good guy.

hes caretaker of the younger kids but that's only so they can grow older and be worth more meat.

That kid in the cafeteria did not seem happy at all living in his care.
And the janitor not only catches six with the intention to have the chefs kill her but numerous other kids as well.

I know it can be argued there a possibility he doesn't know.
But I think it's unlikely as he is the one who keeps the place tidy by taking out all of the trash that is left behind and with his keen sense of smell there's no way he doesn't know the trash is body's.

Man, I just realized I forgot to add "guest" in my comment just now.

So far as the Janitor and the Granny being a couple, not really sure I'd buy that. Given the Janitor's seemingly childlike manner, I think it more likely that the Janitor may well be the Granny's son. I imagine that the Janitor was blinded and maimed/mutated by the Lady (like her other servants) and thus forced into servitude given that it's frankly all he's good for at this time. I think it possible that the Granny met the same fate, becoming an amphibious monster trapped within the depths of The Maw given that is the only environment she can now exist in. Still, that there may be a connection between the two is food for thought.
