Volume 4. Volume 4! VOLUME 4!!!!! I’m so excited!!!! The mysterious mission is going to be uncovered by Detective Ele 💡🔍🕵🏽♀️ Ok, now time for a mini update to my theory log This chapter felt weird to me. At the end of every volume, we get an epilogue but until now, it’s been extra snippets or a transition into the next volume (ie. Hestia’s letter or Ele’s first time seeing the floating isle) But now out of the blue we get this chapter of a married (this might be inportant) unamed drunk gambler, who was mugged and killed in the slums. At first, I thought that because all the other epilogues have had something tied into the currant plot line, the drunk man might be the professor. Especially with them both being married. But this theory starts to fall apart when we find that the man had a rocky relationship with his wife. You could argue that Nurse Melinda and Professor Whitaker might have a rocky relationship that hasn’t been revealed yet, but we have no evidence to back that claim up, plus we’re only ever seen them be loving towards eachother in the book. Plus the whole, high ranking noble love affair thing. Then the man dies and we know for sure that it couldn’t be the proffessor, as his character will be playing a more active role in the plot in the coming volume. But that brings the question, “So who is the drunk man?” Looking over the characters we know now, he doesn’t appear to fit with any of them. So let’s take a step back, what do we know about the man? He feels uncomfortable while sober. This suggests that his life isn’t going too great. What are common reasons someone would abuse alcohol? According to Talbott Recovory, they are; 1. Stressful enviornments 2. Drinking at am early age 3. Mental health problems like depression 4. Taking alchol with medicine 5. Family history Another source, Sana Lake Recovory includes reasons such as peer presure and trauma as causes for alcoholism but those don’t seem to fit for the man (as peer pressure mostly applys to children and we don’t know enough about the man to chalk it up to trauma)
Then we got the next big thing we know about the man, he's married. And from the chapter, we can tell that his wife means a lot to him, as she always accepts her. But the feeling I get from him isn't one of unconditional love and affection. More like an obsession, like she's keeping him grounded. He likes the fact that she cares for him. The next piece of information that might be important, the man likes to gamble in the slums. This might be because he lives here, or maybe it's a preference? He wears shabby clothing but it's stated that he doesn't blend in there. Possibly hinting at a noble background. But that makes me question, so why would he gamble in the slums? I would assume the money bet there isn't as much as if he went to a gambling house in an upper-class district and it's riskier to gamble there than at said gambling house. Maybe to save face? Or is there someone he wants to avoid at the gambling house? Maybe someone he used to know goes there but had a falling out? Or- wait no. sorry I was going off-topic. I've gone way too into detail on the man, and that's just for listing out what we know/can infer about him. So I think it's time to move on.
RoseBud:Next bit of information, he loves to gamble. According to Mayo Clinic, "Exactly what causes someone to gamble compulsively isn't well-understood. Like many problems, compulsive gambling may result from a combination of biological, genetic and environmental factors." So we don't have any hints as to why, but we Mato Clinic also lists some risk factors, which can tell us more about the man. One which I find most interesting, Certain personality characteristics. - Highly competitive - A workaholic - Impulsive - Restless - Easily bored All of these things can increase your risk of compulsive gambling. I'll keep a note on these for later. Another risk factor mentioned is mental health disorders, which tie into our previous argument for why the man most likely has mental health issues.
