Project

5.1: The Picture-Line

"I'm sorry, what?" Writer asked, thinking Questioner had gone insane. Questioner understood this and couldn't blame his friend for thinking this. "Just hear me out." He requested Writer, hoping to be able to explain the justification of his words.

As soon as Questioner had said what he thought, the entire atmosphere of the room became hostile. Danielle was now conflicting between emotions of hate and sorrow, Ridley was just as angered, but knew he needed to keep Danielle calmed down for now. Writer was almost ready to punch Questioner to see if he was thinking straight. Yet Questioner didn't take back his word, and said that he believed it to be very likely.

"Okay, then, Mr "I've-got-the-most-intuitive-brain-in-the-universe," explain away!" Ridley commanded.

"Well, let's run through the details: Project had disappeared in the incident; no body, no footprints, not even a witness. So there were two options at that time: Project had died, or Project had seemingly vanished from the scene. The mother had stated that Project was in the house prior to The Incident, and so we know where he was around 4-5 minutes before hand.

"Now, from what I've gathered through some notes and pages that we have received throughout our journey, which I realised earlier today that someone had been looking through, Project had always had the idea of their death being a Mystery to solve, and yet wanted you guys to participate in the riddle. However, by the looks of things many parts of what they called 'My Finale' had changed, forming what has now been known to many in this as 'My TRUE Finale'. We can assume that thus Project would need some way to alter the changes to their favour, and help you all on the right path. This is where Pessimist and the others come in.

"Including what I believe to be me and you," He stated to Writer. Writer could only looked shocked as to what he meant, and thus was left speechless. So Questioner continued, "Now, at first I thought I was picked for random reasons and my intuition, but Will's last statement he made –his final words– made me think that someone tried to purposely pick us. This also means that Project's most trusted friends and allies, as seen in the photo, must have also been picked.

"Now whether this choice was made personally by Project, or if someone else orchestrated it all at first, I don't know. However, I know for a fact that Project would need to see this all to make sure that it was all going to work into what they believed to be 'The best outcome', as Project was one to pick the best outcomes possible for you guys, even if it meant their supposed death.

"So how could Project survive? Well, what if these four people had all made themselves look alike before The Incident? Then someone else could take Projects place during the 4-5 minutes after their mother had saw them. Granted, this means that someone else has died, and so Project could be convicted of associating with murder. However, if these four trusted each other so much, they would probably die for each other if it was for a good cause.

"So now the possibly three people, Project, Pessimist and another unknown person, are pushing this plan into motion, and allowing us information to lead us to different answers. Pessimist is the one who dictates whether or not someone says too much, and if so punishes them –as me and ^a*% were witnesses to. Project I believe is the one providing information to us to give us leads as to where to go next. However I don't know what the other person's job is.

"Whether it is to prepare people, to create the multiple plans of which to escape like Pessimist's route, or if it is something entirely different. I'm afraid I just don't know.

"I know that Project is most-likely alive, and that they want to make 'My TRUE Finale' a success. I know that they probably didn't want Pessimist to kill Will, but as Pessimist is the dictator of exposition, I can only assume they had no choice. I know that either they or someone else is lurking behind the scenes and reminding us of information when we need to be reminded, and leading us when we believe we're making our path. I need you guys to trust me on this, okay?" Questioner asked. Everyone fell silent.
