A muddled story with art that didn't always seem in sync with the words just left me confused as to the point. We're on the same side in the end, but I can't get behind or maybe just can't follow how the logic is presented here.
Which room will Jacob choose? Is it the one that society wants him to pick or the one where he feels more comfortable in?
