This makes a certain amount of sense, since Nina herself only forgot about the keys magic once she was no longer exposed. Since they're burn scars, it's possible they used the Matchstick Key somehow and that permanently marking themselves with the key managed to keep their memories. It's almost certain that this story isn't true, or the whole truth at least (since Nina doesn't know any of the details about the keys and there's no reason to tell her any of the magical side) but it does narratively connect the scars to the concept of 'remembering.' ![]() ![]() senior year after our friends died, we pressed a hot poker to our chests.
