    Doctor: Your friend isn’t real she’s just in your imagination Kid: Say sike right now
  • @Chielite4life
    Since he was sad, she led him to her body to prove that she was no imaginary friend.
  • @Malally2
    i believe he found her body in the woods, in that very position, and then imagined her as a friend because he couldn't cope with what he found, and then returned to her at the end of the video through the open gate he already knew was there
  • @softies_xxv
    I remember I saw this video as a kid, it traumatized me, but now that i am watching this again it feels VERY different.

    Female police officer: You okay? The kid's mom: Is literally having a mental breakdown

    NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE PURITY OF THE MOTHER? SHE LITERALLY JUMPED WHEN SHE SAW HER SON DBSNSNBENDNS
  • @echothetaco
    8 years later and I never noticed the slit on her left leg, the leg that got caught in the bear trap

    Watched this a few times back and forth and really, the storytelling is amazing. I love how the wrapper was used as a psuedo-text box and because the girl is dead, her wrapper always says the same thing. That added so many layers of sadness because you can imagine how she most probably got lost in the forest, sprung the trap by accident after carefully avoiding so many before, and had to crawl towards the closest tree in tremendous pain and agony. As she struggles to sit up and rest on her back, she tried shouting for help but no one came. In an effort to distract herself from all the pain, fear and suffering, she reached for a candy and ate it. In a twisted irony, the wrapper says, "You found me", and she died holding onto it. All that storytelling in the final 2 cuts. It's brilliant.

    Officer: "You good?" The mom: * IS DYING * The father: "lady are you blind?"
  • @Qashimo
    I don’t think she used to be “imaginary” I think they truly did meet “last Halloween” that’s why she has the wrapper with her, she just went missing after their meeting.
  • @damienrey8216
    this story still hits hard in 2024, i remember watching it in 2016, also regarding the theories some say the girl died a year prior to doesnt make sense as in the end the corpse looked too fresh to be so also in the beginning theres foreshadowing with the bear trap mark on her leg
  • @Silver_2019
    I remember seeing this animation when it first came out. It's been 8 years, and seeing her again with that feeling of nostalgia doesn't stop me from being filled with a sea of ​​tears...
  • @katiecat4323
    The girl didn’t lead the boys to her body for him to find it, she led him there to prove to everyone that she wasn’t imaginary.............
  • The sad part about this is that there's a whole bunch of other kids that are missing too.
  • @ZeepTheWocky
    Still one of my favorite short films on YouTube.
  • @zaxx5438
    I think this tells about 1 year ago when the girl was still alive and met a boy, because the boy saw that the girl didn't have candy he gave her one, when he opened it there was There are the words "you found me". And after that they separated, what happened when they separated, the girl got lost in the forest, she was caught in a trap and because of that she was forced to wait Under a tree and hoping that someone would save him while holding a candy wrapper that said "you found me" that he got from the man until he finally died there. After one year the girl who was with the boy was the spirit/soul of the dead girl, that's why every candy she ate had the words "you found me" written on it.😭
  • @ditsydotsy6915
    Dude after all these years it still breaks my heart. Imagine how the little boy must have felt, when he woke up from a nice nap beside his best friend, and there's a rotting corpse of said best friend right where she was sitting
  • @user-lc4yg1sb9s
    うわあああ(泣)可愛い絵柄に反してストーリーが悲しすぎる…………
  • @keysb4123
    She kept getting the “you found me” candy wrapper because she died with that wrapper on her hands makes me so sad 😞
