The Spouse

A photo of the entity, or this wanderer's "wife". The photo always comes out distorted. It is unknown why.
==Description==
"The Spouse" is the only entity present within Level 757. This entity is different than other entities in the Backrooms and also behaves differently. This entity only appears as the wanderer's husband or wife, and upon a wanderer entering their home, the entity will act shocked to see them and explain how they fell into the Backrooms themselves.
At this time, the entity begins to release a pheromone that slowly hypnotizes the wanderer into not only believing what they say but also wanting to stay in the home with them. They know everything about every wanderer that enters the home, however, the entity has no access to genuine memories or information belonging to the wanderer's spouse except for their looks and name. If the wanderer is single, dating, or unmarried, the entity will take the shape of the wanderer's love interest or who they were dating in The Frontrooms.
==Behavior==
It is unknown how the entity behaves or looks when no wanderer is present within Level 757. When wanderers are present, the entity spends their time doing various things around the house, such as cleaning or cooking. They enjoy watching television with the wanderer and doing other activities and will go to bed with the wanderer every night.
After a few days of being in the house, the wanderer will begin to notice odd behaviors from their spouse. They notice that they're doing things they didn't normally do in The Frontrooms. It starts with small things. The entity will speak differently than the wanderer's spouse did in reality or call them things they didn't before. They'll clean differently or use ingredients in food that they never used or are even allergic to.
The entity provides excellent reasons for the behavior and with their pheromone now at its strongest, the wanderer happily believes them. After about 2 weeks of living with the entity, the wanderer will notice extremely odd behavior. Some wanderers woke up and found their spouse just staring at the wall and not speaking as if they were sleeping with their eyes open, or out of bed and staring at them with a deranged smile. They'll laugh it off as a dream and get back into bed, just to do the same thing the next night.
Once wanderers begin voicing their doubts or try to leave the house, the entity will begin to force things onto the wanderer, such as watching something they don't enjoy or telling the wanderer what to wear. The entity will then immediately drop its act and begin trying to stop the wanderer by any means possible. Some wanderers were locked in the bedroom or the basement and some the entity killed to prevent them from leaving.
Fortunately, this entity is only as strong as the person they're pretending to be. If the wanderer's spouse was small or female, the wanderer generally wouldn't have a hard time keeping the entity away, but the entity can and will use a weapon. Generally, the weapon is a large knife. They'll do everything they can to keep the wanderer from leaving the home, but the entity can be subdued.
Wanderers can use their weapon or wrestle the one away from their spouse to use against them and the entity will die if fatally injured. The wanderer's "spouse" will stay dead and motionless where they were killed, but when the house vanishes and a new one takes its place, the entity is always back inside of the house waiting for the next wanderer to enter.
==Biology==
"The Spouse" is an entity that appears human. They eat, sleep, bathe, and bleed like humans, but this entity is not human and should not be approached. At this time, it is currently unknown what this entity's true form is, however, M.E.G. personnel believe that the entity remains as the previous wanderer's spouse until a new wanderer enters the level, if the entity is not killed by the wanderer. The entity possesses a pheromone that it uses to invade and trick the wanderer's mind into thinking that they want to stay in the house in Level 797 with the entity. The entity is limited on how much it's able to release and after about two weeks, the pheromone will begin to wear off and then cause wanderers to stop seeing through rose-colored glasses, so to speak.
==Discovery==
"The Spouse" was first discovered in 2011 by a wanderer named Seth Osher who believed the entity to be his wife, Sarah. Unfortunately, Seth Osher did not survive his encounter with the entity and was unable to escape the house. Mr. Osher's body was never found. Countless others have been in contact with this entity and many have fallen victim to it and its home. It is highly advised to avoid Level 757 and "The Spouse" at all costs.
