Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
KLS affects roughly 1 in a million people, with episodes lasting days to weeks—Santos compresses that existential horror into 180 seconds.
The casting credit 'Female Victim' rather than a character name suggests the entire narrative may be the patient's dissociated self-perception during an episode.
