Why MIY Isn’t Stopping Julie
In the cycle we’re watching, Sophia (MIY) knows that Julie is a story walker and that she’s trying to change things. Yet he doesn’t really interfere with her. The only time we’ve seen him directly provoke Julie was at the diner; other than that, he hasn’t made a move against her. I think the reason lies in the Man in Yellow’s belief that the story being told cannot be changed. He’s so confident that no matter how much Julie story walks, she still won’t be able to alter anything, because those stories have already been told and finished.
However, I still think that what Julie learns by visiting different stories could become important information for both her and the others. Because of that, I believe the Man in Yellow will eventually make a move against Julie in future episodes. And I think he may not do it directly, but instead by entering Sara’s mind and manipulating her into doing it for him.
