At some point in the finale EP 12, he sets up cams throughout his house to see if it's just magically appearing. The drawings throughout 12 eps have contained "FeMC having sex with her husband, going on dates, having kids, having an amazing variety of memories" It's shown that he uses drugs as a cope. And it's revealed that he's been making the drawings since the start. In his drug black outs. It's part of his emotional trigger when he strangles FeMC.
