I find it more suspicious that I mentioned her, and lacunafiction didn’t say anything 
My spidey senses are tingling lol
Joking aside, something tells me (at least from her reaction) that she is aware of what’s happening. And I mean by that, as in the stuff mc’s grandPa was talking about. The whole deja-vus stuff he was talking about. I mean combine that stuff he described, with the lady that was frantic near the police station and the waitress’s attitude. You have 3 points of view and reactions, which can highlight the timeline in a way.
I would say the waitress knew for a long time, the frantic lady is 2nd and your GrandPa is last. Now to figure out what exactly killed him, and that should give us half the answer of the why.
There is also Ruby’s mother who could be in all of this, after all, she has a stake in this town. So I wouldn’t be surprised.
But these are mere guesses on my part, time will only tell.
Okay, so now I got the itch! So I’m gonna dig into the story for Clues!
Let’s start with that title!
What is the meaning of fernweh?
Meet fernweh. Marrying the words fern, or distance, and wehe, an ache or sickness, the word can be roughly translated as “distance sickening” or “far woe” – a pain to see far-flung places beyond our doorstep. Think of it as the opposite of heimweh (homesickness).
Your time away outside of my grasp has led to changes that need to be culled…
What does this tell us, class? 
Your GrandPa sending you away triggered the big boogeyman. twirl mustache a La Poirot
That awareness—that choice—will be stripped away once again for you to play out your role as intended, acting within the confines set and the bounds that restrict.
You keep telling yourself that buddy,
Ahem anyway, this means the boogeyman has limitations. The border of the Town.
To fight, to flee, to hide, and to ultimately struggle needlessly because there will only ever be one winner no matter how many rounds of the game pass.
And this tells us, that someone keeps reloading the game! Cheater! Save scumming, how dare you!
Joking aside, it means in the confinement of the town: Everyone die and come back!
The plot thickens like gravy…hmm, gravy
Eternal youth, dude I take that even with the boogeyman chasing my butt! 
My cousin works at the mechanic shop, if you need repairs. He boosted my sound system with all those different noise effects, even animal calls.
This is that prankster kid, what are the chances he decided to go and try a mating call to attract whatever killed GrandPa? Oy Vey!
Hmm, I stop here because I feel I’m gonna end up finding a big spoiler
Your club actually kind of relates to something that can happen in Book 2. 
I’m sure some of the more curious MCs will trigger it. If your club can come up with an official cake flavor or refreshment, I will add it into Book 2 as an easter egg, lol.
I can say that you will see Ms. Verner again during Book 1, so maybe your first impression will be tested. I like that MCs have such a variety of feelings about her.
Apparently it’s some sort of starch, which is something I don’t like. Maybe when I’m really old and without teeth…
