I stick with Wendy having witnessed her brothers die in that house, but having blocked it, but the memory blocks are fadind, and is creating a fantasy world that she's subconsciously combining the with past, using Peter Pan as a base, partly because growing up/growing past it means losing the last bit of hope that her brother's might be alive, and having to face a worse reality than the one she already lives in, but also because the fantasy element helps her filter it into something that she can handle until proper help (read: parents and friends who realized that this is a depressed kid who has never fully moved on with her life) would eventually let her heal. Instead, she gets dismissed as an emo teen by her friends, and her parents are either too busy to realize what's going on with her or they don't care as long as she isn't causing problems, and so she slips further into the fantasy world until it represents an escape for her.
