Anyway I don't get the intro sequence, is the bug possessing the sinner? Is the bug the sinner herself and it's just controlling a random female prisoner? I assume that the bug is just another hint towards the Sinner's true identity, and that people who have played Dark Souls would be able to recognize it and make the connection. I don't think the bug is controlling the Sinner though, there is more evidence to suggest that the Sinner is actually the prisoner and not the bug. Although, the idea that the bug is controlling her isn't that farfetched. Perhaps the bug is the last remnant of the Bed of Chaos that can never truly leave the Witch. If so, that might be another reason why she was locked up, or why she locked herself up, in the shackles and mask.
