yeah but wirt and greg taking some of the unknown home w/ them because u can’t escape a place like that untouched
plants curling around their fingers when they touch them, the vines growing up their arms if they aren’t paying attention
animals distrusting them because they always smell slightly of death (more devastating to greg than wirt)
their hearts beating just a little slower than they should be/them being able to hold their breath for way longer than they should (greg wins all breath-holding contests in kindergarten and wirt likes it cuz he doesn’t get that heart-pumping anxiety thing as often)
on the same vein, not having to blink as often. wirt trying to make the conscious effort to blink normally bc he knows it’s creepy. greg using it to become the champion starer of the playground
their skin being several degrees cooler than is healthy no matter what season it is
hearing faint voices + seeing shapes in their peripheral vision cuz the veil is thin for them now and ghosts r more apparent
wirt + greg being radical slightly supernatural beings after escaping the unknown
