They all seem to be different parts of the originals personality. So, by killing them off one by one wouldn't he be returning that personality back to the original? Going by this it should be rather easy to eliminate the most extreme personalities and see which individual gains those traits after the elimination process
"If none around changes then the logical assumption is that the one in isolation would be the real one"
Yes, that's exactly what I wrote ;). It's just that he wouldn't know because he has no contact to the one in isolation and therefor wouldn't know how it works. He wouldn't be able to figure out that the personality traits go back to the original.
The second part I wrote was just an additional theory.
He would be able to because that individual would gain those traits, and if none of them are then it's the isolated one gaining them. It's really not that complex. He could start with the overly scared and aggressive ones first. Too bad no one really knows what personality the first one that died was
I don't think you understand what I mean. If one of them dies and no one gains that trait than how is he supposed to be able to figure out that all of them are just different character traits in the first place? He has no idea at the moment that this is even possible. And even if he had that theory, just because nobody changes doesn't automatically mean that the one in isolation is the real one. The theory could simply be wrong and nobody could've changed.
On the other hand, just because somebody changes and gains that character trait doesn't have to mean that the theory is true. Flowerhead could simply be messing with him.
Besides, having an extreme personality at this point means nothing. Nobody knows which personality trait the real one would have and how another trait would influence the behavior of the real one.
I just spent the last few hours reading the book and after letters (the Google translation was rough to read tbh). I am now a disgusting, puffy, snotty, wet, sloppy mess in all the wrong ways. I consider myself an emotionally tough person...if you have a glass heart it will shatter into unrepairable microscopic pieces...You have been warned...I need a fucking hug man, seriously
I was hoping for a bit more... I really wanted Alex to be more domineering over Clark since he's supposed to be in self protection mode but I suppose that just proves how Clark is so much more manipulative than Alex. Death really is the only way to pay for hurting a sociopath's friend/love interest.
