The lake of tears that brings Things to life, in exchange of time
I have another theory. About the lake in episode 4 and the scarecrows.
Ethan tried to heal the crow using water from the lake. But I think, the lake doesn’t only heal but also gives life.
But on the coast of Enough time.
Look at the golem fathima is making. I am pretty sure someone in the past made those scarecrows for protection and put them on the lake.
When they were kept there underwater for years, they became alive. Now they are gonna come to life. In other words the lake of Tears doesn't only heal, with enough time it can literally bring the dead alive.
Another perspective is why the lake still had vegetables while it died everywhere else? Because of the life power that it consists of. The lake of tears is cursed that brings the hope of people into reality. Someone hoped for a scarecrow protector. Someone hoped for vegetables
So the first part theory is that the lake of tears (assuming It's this lake) can bring things / hopes to life if given enough time.
Now next part of the theory I made which is very unlikely -
We always assumed that the anghkooey kids are already dead. They can't be saved. It's more like symbolic.
But what if, just what if my first theory is right and with enough time the lake can even bring the dead to life? It would open another big door.
