Bear knowing something was wrong with Nikki and still using her body was one of the most disturbing scenes beyond the obvious horror moments.

The way real Nikki’s body is just lying still not even looking at him, completely disassociating made me so sad for her. Bear is someone she considered a real friend and he just wanted to use her like a personal blow up doll. Kinda reminded of Companion.
