Additional Information

Natalie's Home

The Home seen in Rule #5 seems to be Natalie's childhood home from "Running". This is supported by the door and the presence of her childhood photos, which have also appeared previously. The presence of the dated VHS tapes and the papers, taken by 1AmTheHelp3r have yet to be explained

Further Speculation

There's a chance that Helper might not be a proxy; he/she (anyone know Helper's gender?) seems to be fixated on destroying the 'infection', aka Slendy's influence. However, I agree that fire is often associated with Slendy. and the proxies. ~ DollFaceless on YouTube

Well, whatever he found must be something HUGE from his point of view. I mean… whatever it collectively was, was enough to switch him from "Help3r Containment Mode" to quite possibly "Help3r Terminator Mode". ~ Paradox on SlenderNation
