    If you know Wilbur Soot, then you likely know about his infamously unsolvable ARG. For those NOT in the know, it's time to catch up. Now, this video may seem a little late, but this was indeed a hard one to solve. Yet, I think I did just that. Theorists, we are about to break down this titan of an ARG piece by piece to show you how I SOLVED the Editor Wilbur Soot ARG.

    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.

    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. Fakier was the one in love with Lenore, and the one who killed her.
