While it's definitely not Ashley's responsibility to help him, and Daniel's being unreasonable expecting her to solve everything... I also can't blame the kid, really. If you told me in my freshman year that I had four weeks to fight and kill some kind of hallway-warping bug creature or I'd scratch myself to death, I wouldn't handle it well either.

The Campground and its old-land creatures are one thing. They at least had some claim to seniority of a kind. But these things (the literal Devil aside) are all weird newcomers who think they're hot shit for terrorizing a fresh batch of dumb children every year. It doesn't feel right to act like the campus's current state is a natural order.
