yea. its the punchline of a joke thats been going since daves introduction. dave is terrified that cal is alive and watching him, but of course the readers know thats not possible, its just daves bro using cal to psychologically torment him. but then later its revealed thats not true, cal WAS actually alive and stalking dave. and finally it turns out that no, it was actually daves bro the whole time, persisting as a splinter and a fragment of the english-amalgamation living inside the doll
