Whitepine theories

Pretty big spoilers for Whitepine 4 and the ARG under the cut

So while watching the new episode, my friend and me came up with a few theories/thoughts and since figuring stuff out is a community effort, I thought I'd share them.

The detective

As my amazing, perceptive friend Bee ( @mossybee-exe ) pointed out, in this shot, while Ivory is walking back from the cabinet where she's supposed to find the cot, there is a pair of legs on the staircase.

You know who has black pants? THE DETECTIVE, who we later see in the manor.

That in itself is already kind of a theory, but I think this subtle detail makes sense for both explanations we've come up with.

Option I

The detective has something against Ivory and literally stalks around the manor to interrogate her, which would mean in this shot, he's watching her go about her day

Option II (the one which makes more sense to me)

The detective isn't actually in the manor. Instead, he's a figment of Ivory's imagination, a reflection of how badly the interrogation impacted her. That would explain why she's the only one who ever sees him at the estate and no one else does. When she mentions him to Serapter, Serapter hasn't seen him, and we don't have confirmation that Prince Zam sees him after going to find him in this episode.

This would mean that him standing atop of the stairs is a reflection of her mind, a sign that the memories of the interrogation are always ready to pounce on her in the form of the detective (which happens later in the episode).

A different theory which is pretty much unattached from this one

Lop was in the new ARG video

While I'm not all that familiar with the ARG videos and the backgrounds, I've watched those which have been found with a playlist someone else made.

In those videos, Epony (the mirror image or counterpart of Ivory) leads Ivory to a room in a bedrock box and traps her there. Then, Ivory tries to break out, but the whole room is surrounded by bedrock.

What is interesting to me about this part of the ARG especially, is the voice Ivory hears, because to my friend Bee and to me, this voice seems like Lop's. This would mean that this whole sequence of videos took place at the end of Whitepine 4, meaning we know at what time they happened.

It's possible these theories aren't actually what took place, but I thought sharing them might help the overall community 🤍
