i actually disagree on the “i’m so cold” being the girl’s last words; i think it may instead have been his thoughts as he tried to save her (since he mentioned having hypothermia, presumably from exposure to the cold water), so it’s a lingering memory of the trauma.

Wilbur missing some lyrics in the song privately owned spiral galaxy: In the cover at 2:09 he sing „And the brain I used to cultivate“ he didn’t finish the sentence. But the whole sentence is „And the brain I used to cultivate reveals my lovers where a lie“. So the part is missing that his lovers where a lie.

I think the girl whom Wilbur falls for’s name is Lenore, because in the Raven by Edgar Allan Poe, the character mentions many times an angel named Lenore, possibly her three favourite Edgar poems were those you mentionned, with her name being Lenore, beggining with L, Elle’s lovely three makes more sense, which would enforce that R.

Theory: In the song, “your new boyfriend” Wilbur talks about how the girl in this theory is dating someone else. He also seems very obsessive and insane, emailing her various amounts of times. Could this be that since she was dating someone else it corresponds to events that made Wilbur push the girl into the lake and killing her. This is just a theory I have and a small connection I want to try and make

[@akitakipper]

Nice theory but I have a few points: I don’t think the girl is “missing”. Since in the final wilbur editor video there is a section of voice mails. Rihanna (his friend) rings up asking him if he’s okay after what happened at the O2 arena. If the girl is dead than I think they thought the girls death was a suicide or she fell in and wilbur tried to save her but failed. But more likely is that the girl is not dead, but instead was saved. Remember how Kai swims in the Thames? Kai saved the girl. Maybe will never pushed her in? Maybe they went out together and they both fell in the Thames? Will says that he is embarrassed and cold. Imagine not being able to swim as a fully grown man? Pretty embarrassing. I’m a massive crywank fan, I noticed that wilbur changed lyrics, notably the “my lovers were a lie” lyric. This definetly agrees that’s it’s something to do with this girl. The voice mail from the girl appears to me to be talking to another person about someone else. She is cheating on someone. What if that person is Kai? That’s why will wants Kai gone? After trauma people can develop a lot of side effects, most common being PTSD. If you have ptsd you can develops psychosis. If will has psychosis, he could genuinely believe people are after him. Hence him being on the run, but his friends and family still calling-hence they do not know a reason he would be on the run. He also keeps talking about it snowing on Christmas Day. That’s very much not an english thing that happens. Will perception of reality is ruined. This is backed up by the exclusion of the lyric “normalities affect traject agony of reality” (thanks @firestardude) which yet again shows that some event is changing wills reality. As for r fakier and I fakier. R fakiers book was called elles lovely three, the community have already used this to piece three pieces of info together to find a twitter account so I don’t think this means anything else. However I am interested in r fakier and I fakiers relationship. R is I’s son. I fakier is an anagram of Fire Kai. I think I fakier is meant to be a representation of wills fixation of Kai, which currently dominates his head space-its all will can think about. Wilburs normal self is R. Why do I think this? Wilburs last video he realeased was called “understanding your new position as king” and was about Kai finally being fired and Wilbur being editor. In England we have a hereditary monarchy. To become king a prince’s father must die. Wilbur was the prince in this situation and death is Kai being fired. This is backed up by wilburs love of poetry and writing and R being an author. It’s noteable that wilbur has said we’ve found every clue. It’s just a matter of decoding them Will said month ago that it’s not about did, this disproving matts and red herrings theory. I have other notes but I’m so tired I’ll edit in the morning

[@gabornagy6759]

okay

[@sageyt4808]

Hmmm, maybe there where dating and stopped for a bit. That lines up with her saying "We haven't been on a date in a while", That implies they ahve been on one before, Maybe she was cheating on him with Kai? And she told him and he pushes her into the water?

[@SevenZeroEleven]

Personally I think the girl still lives after that but wilbur in a panic of being a murderer just escapes quickly, Kai being a strong swimmer probably went in and got her out. Regardless of Wilbur knowing about the survival he would still be running to not got charged for attempted murder

[@deflowerdefile]

the cheating theory is also supported by her saying "we haven't been on a date in forever"

I think I could know what the 1:11 2:33 2:44 clue is. In Wilbur's song "I am very smart," at 1:11, Wilbur says "high school party," and from 2:33 to 2:44 he says "I think I've made a mistake, the first mistake I've ever made." additionally, In the music video, Wilbur wears a bowtie, which could correlate to the saying "it's nice to end things with a bow on top" also mentioned in the arg. Finally, at 2:33, Wilbur changes clothing to the same black shirt he's wearing in the video where he's in the "decrepit old house in the middle of nowhere." This might just be coincidence, but maybe something about a high school party could tie into the arg.
