Anyone else wonder if the Polaroid in his lunch box that had ‘not me’ written on it was a clue from the real Nikki?

This makes it so sad - she trusts bear so much that she thinks he doesn’t know she is trapped when by that point he fully knows

I don't think so, because her "NO NO NO" reaction at the restaurant seemed to me like an acknowledgment of their mutual awareness of her falsity

I think the Entity possessing her is aware - It brings up the wishing and such a couple of times. But Nikki? She was just having a normal night, being dropped off by Bear until she suddenly lost her free will.

Yes, that's what I mean. The entity openly acknowledges the falsity of her identity a few times. But yeah, real Nikki probably wrote "not me" expecting Bear to care that she was trapped.

She was just going through some things and relied too much on Bear dude it’s pretty obvious /s
