        Ito often works like Lovecraft, being drawn to something irrational you cannot understand is the whole point. It’s also heavily utilized in Uzumaki. The body horror is just the cherry on top.

        The sensation is quite common for a lot of people, think of “l’appel du vide” (call of the void) or intrusive thoughts in general.
