    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.

    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
