Hey guys still doing my replay and I'm up to the Ella's Past with Christine part:
Does a "tall man in a hood" fit the MO of anyone we know? It's a line mentioned by one of the teachers that apparently survived the massacre and identified who they though did it. What strikes me as odd about the whole thing is Ella's MO isn't really to disguise herself, she did it like ONCE to trick Jake and I suppose she could do it again but it doesn't rub me the right way. Another thing that I'm puzzled on is IF Ella truly did kill all those kids for whatever reason, why spare the witnesses? Two of her most defining characteristics is that she's merciless and upfront. Only her grade and only mentions Christine not coming the DAY OF the Massacre let alone they were already there I believe. Did something appear that she sensed so she fought it? Was she about to lose her shit from the voices? Very nerve wracking...
I find the whole situation perplexing because H.E.R.O, mainly Clark pretty much reads a whole ass dossier on Ella but mentions that she was a SURVIVOR in the Massacre but not responsible for it at least to their extensive knowledge net which makes it even more fucking suspicious. If I was Clark trying to get under her skin I would have used the knowledge that we knew she did commit the murders but the meeting with the Council members later confirms they know pretty much next to nothing about her...that Massacre was RIDICULOUSLY clean for whoever did it yet also extremely sloppy by letting teachers or other witnesses survive, why ONLY the kids of that grade, even if we do claim it's Ella what's the motive? She didn't even know a quarter of the people there and if she truly held a grudge and it wasn't one of her "in her head" penpals (because she warned Christine ahead of time) then why not JUST kill Julie in passing?
Not trying to defend her but just understand the Massacre itself and why or who potentially did it other than the almost too obvious answer which would be that Ella did it, W.W almost always has a twist on seemingly obvious solutions, potential suspect(s):
1. Zack- PURELY based on the description of course. The issue with this theory is that I believe he's been injured for a while now, and even if he wasn't; H.E.R.O having no knowledge on the matter despite sending one of their Councilors would make zero sense.
2. The 7th?- If I'm not mistaken we've deemed the Ella Dead End where the 4th is crushed by an Unknown Entity to be the Dark Lord, 7th. It kind of has a hood like figure, and would also explain why Ella was so struck by shock if she just saw the monster SHE thought was maybe already dealt with back from the dead? Perhaps the 4th and 3rd together stepped in to stop it as a way of saving their at the time; "chosen champion". Problem with this is Ella wouldn't have been able to defeat it at the time, she had only had her powers for what? 3 years by that point? Another issue is the teacher regards them as a tall hooded MAN which the 7th does NOT resemble in that dead end, though Valravn does refer to it as a Lord...
3. Xanthe's Son- and alkeera bases that on absolutely nothing.
Maybe I'm overthinking it...thoughts anyone?
