Thomas Perry was Neil Perry’s undoing, and his doom. He had killed Neil before Neil ever had a chance to live, as we know, cut flowers can only live a short while before they wilt unless they’re helped to extend their life. But they cannot be saved, and they will die before their rightful time.
They will die before they’d have died had they been left in the healthy ground they were to flourish in.
Neil Perry died young, a teenager. He was a cut flower, stem in water.
His father pulled him from the ground and left him to wilt, watched him with hardened eyes like a wilting flower will be able to do anything more than wilt.
It was his friends, acting and Mr Keating that acted as water to keep him going after Mr Perry had ripped him from the ground.
That night of the play, Mr Perry angrily pulled Neil from the water that had been keeping him going, and left him his final hours to wilt and die.
he was good. he was really good!

i propose a new category: canon denial.
todd anderson and the flowers he meant to give neil after his performance, which are now wilting away in his room. it could have been sweet in some way, keeping at least a part of neil; but now todd just watches them wither on neil's side of the room, untouched and unseen by him. the day of the funeral, all that's left of the bouquet is molding petals and soggy green pulp.
you can't keep something alive that's meant to die.
i accidentally napped and had a dream (nightmare?) where a new update for stardew valley released where everything was the same except on a random day in year 3 Evelyn would just straight up die. There was a whole cutscene that started in her house where she collapsed, and then transitioned over to the hospital where Harvey gave George and Alex the worst news of their lives. However, they got to speak to her where she said something along the lines of "Yoba will protect me, and I am sure he will let me watch over you."
Alex and George would not talk to the player for more than a few words for a full season after this event. George would spend most of his time in the bedroom, so if you had less than 2 hearts with him, you could barely ever speak to him.
And Alex... oh my god, poor Alex. If you were married to him during this event, he just stayed in bed all day. Otherwise, if single, he would just stand on the beach most of the time, staring off into the ocean. If you tried to interact with him, it would just say "Alex is grieving... Better leave him be."
There was also other NPC dialogue like mayor Lewis saying "I haven't seen the community in this state of mourning since your grandfather passed..."
there was also a glitch where you could make Evelyn live forever and there were entire guides for the "immortal Evelyn glitch" that got patched out in the next update. If you tried to perform the glitch after the patch, mr. Qi would tell you that "hey, it happens to all of us. We can't prevent it, and neither can you, no matter how hard you try."

Rest in peace Mr Perry, you shall not be missed.
