Inside the house, the camera resumes <moving around> him as he scouts:
He kills the occupants, while entertaining fantasies of making them <watch>:
❝ First the mother should visit her dead son. She should observe very carefully… how he could no longer move. ❞
❝ The old one had to stay conscious, no matter what. I wanted to strangle her after all. And the daughter should watch how her mother slowly died. ❞
❝ I made a new plan. I wanted to show the corpses to the new victims. I was convinced that I could really scare them with that. I had the idea that I would lock the new victims together with the corpses. That would scare them enormously. ❞
