What if the locked door turns out to be another wet fart of a cliffhanger? "Oh no, you guys discovered my beanie babies collection!"
Everybody knows it's not going to be a sex dungeon, or a dead body, or some psycho killer room.

It's going to be something deeply emotional and traumatic to Bella and related to the reason why James left, but it's not going to be anything OTT.

I mean... I wouldn't mind a sex dungeon :sneaky:
But even if it's purely innocent—aka not stupid—it still has to make Maya stop in her tracks while her brother is bleeding to death (exaggerating of course) from his missing finger, make MC's heart beat real loud, and have Bella look shocked that they opened the door.

I agree, this is way more likely, though it's funny to contemplate absurd options. Like Bella helping train a group of circus clowns to all fit in a tiny car by stuffing 30 of them in that tiny room.

A child's room would do that.

Yes and no. Yes, that I agree that's probably what it is, and it would initially surprise Maya after stumbling onto it. But no, that it doesn't really justify the reaction Maya and MC have (except a Bella!MC). Bella's reaction, yes. That's why some people take it a step farther and say it's more of a shrine.

I think a child's room would totally justify their reactions. Imagine Maya opening the door to see a small child's bed, boxes and sheves of toys, walls decorated with child-friendly motifs, etc. That would be pretty shocking considering they've never seen her with a child or known she had one.

The lost son theory was the better one, but that was before James' fate was however superficially, addressed. Starting from the fact that James is away because he is stuck/disappeared somewhere, what is the point of adding drama in the past? Even if it was why he left, it is more important why he did not return.

I think we can assume he's not returning, and if it turns out he left because he couldn't handle the loss of their child, maybe we'll just be left to assume he's dead, either by deliberate suicide or accidental death and his body is missing.
