Darkness

Throughout "Adolescence-II", the girl never seems to directly interact with the darkness. Darkness in usually symbolic of evil, while light is usually symbolic of good. Therefore, due to the fact that the girl never directly interacts with the darkness, it would appear that she is trying not to succumb to it. It almost seems as if the darkness is seeking her out; for instance, the three seal men come bringing the scent of licorice. Therefore, I would say that evil is seeking the girl out, possibly in the demonic sense. In a way it reminds me of The Exorcism of Emily Rose, because the innocent girl seems to be targeted down by the darkness, however she never directly seeks it out.
