He reminded me so much of Calvin. Lost in his imagination.

Introduction

Gregory Finch (ˈɡre.ɡə.ri ˈfɪntʃ | Gregeree Finch) was the thirdborn and the second son of Sam and Kay, and the younger brother of Dawn and Gus. Gregory was an imaginative newborn, as noted by his father Sam's speculation after Gregory died from drowning in a bathtub due to parental neglect a month before his second birthday.

Appearance

Gregory was a fair-skinned, blue-eyed newborn. If he lived longer, he'd probably have blond or black hair.

Personality

Sam, in his letter to Kay, says that Gregory used to laugh when he thought he was alone. Gregory probably saw things the rest of people could not see, which is proven to be right during the gameplay as a frog in the bathtub. His imagination made him very happy, which worried Sam, because he could "feel him slipping away", just like Gregory's paternal uncle, Calvin Finch.

Death

On December 19, 1977, Kay was giving Gregory a bath, which was interrupted multiple times by Sam constantly calling her over the phone. Though Kay did drain the tub when Sam called, she left Gregory in the tub, which allowed him to turn the water back on using his toys, and he ultimately drowned. It is heavily implied that his death led to Kay and Sam's divorce.

Trivia

• Gregory lived from January 12, 1976 - December 19, 1977, making him 1 year, 11 months, and 7 days at the time of his death (or almost 2 years old since he died a month before his second birthday). In January 12, 2021, he would be 45 years old.
• Gregory is the sole Finch that Edith doesn't say the name of, nor a specific phrase about him while sketching him in her book, though there are lines where Edith refers to him and Gus as Dawn's "deceased brothers".
• A minor mistake can be seen on Gregory's memorial painting: during Gregory's story, the wind-up frog doesn't have the wind-up mechanism to work, however we can see the little key that made the toy work at his memorial painting.
• Gregory is the second newborn to die in the game, with the first being Johann.
• In the "House" trailer, Gregory's surroundings in his story were originally going to be a little different - there would be less bright colors, fewer toys in the bathtub and the frog would be a bit more realistic.
• The name of the song that plays in Gregory's story is called "Waltz of the Flowers".
