The bead toy
> "(It's one of those sliding bead toys that naturally spawns inside doctors' offices.)"
>"(The beads march grimly along their path.)"
In Chapter 2 (non-sg), it says:
>”The beads of the toy march on.)"
In Snowgrave, it says:
>”(It's a toy with beads on a track.)"
>”(One of the blue beads is broken and torn off.)"

and in chapter 4
The dark bead title
>”broken off but still locked”

The bead toy could be the tail of hell, it looks like a row of beads and it would make sense if they used it to keep score of whatever game they were playing
What do you think? It sounds like all of this started from a game noelle and Kris played a long time ago
