• He is most likely Evan

5. Called the police, but it hasn’t gone through

6. Vinnie has a wrench and plans on using it if needed

7. Evan is bloody and is wearing a strange hat.

8. Evan states, “He is embarrassing me”. Don’t know who he is talking about

11. Evan states that no matter what he did, he couldn’t go to sleep.

13. States that whatever he was fighting out basically gutted him during the fight, but he doesn’t’ have scars.

My thoughts

I apologize beforehand if I jump around the video as far as discussing what I think about what certain parts mean. I’ll try to keep my thoughts in order with what happened in the video.

First off, the title of the video translate into, “The Spirit of the Stairs”. According to the comments underneath the video, “The Spirit of the Stairs” means a situation when you think of the right thing to say for a moment that has already passed.

Second, it is safe to assume that Evan had some kind of fight with the Rake. I say this because Evan states that he “had his head in my hands” and also from the other things he says afterwards. He also states that he was—in basic terms—gutted by the Rake, but he has no scars and he is, obviously, not dead. However, the fight was not recorded. When Vinnie answers the door, Evan’s shirt is covered in blood, but Evan himself isn’t, which points to the fact that he fought the Rake. It isn’t known whether the Rake is dead or not, but I don’t think he is. The Rake is kind of like the Slenderman, a supernatural creature that either can’t be killed, or is very hard to kill.

From the fact that Evan has no scars, I take it that perhaps HABIT is still toying with him and probably healing him. That kinda sounds stupid, but hey, HABIT is some kind of supernatural being. Perhaps healing someone is something that he can do.

The fact that Vinnie puts down his only weapon at the end worries me. That coupled with the fact that Evan stating that he did his best to protect him sounded as if something is about to happen. Plus, Evan was having a mental background and is in a bad mental state.

Vinnie stated that his call to the police didn’t go through. Since HABIT seems to like to toy with the EverymanHYBRID crew (or what’s left of them), perhaps he is keeping Vinnie from calling for help. This can be bad since the only “help” that can be sought out is from the internet. I’m not sure how many people that are near Vinnie and Evan to be of any help. Perhaps this is what HABIT wanted.

I can only see bad things happening from here on out. If the Rake IS alive, then he may be kinda angry about the fact that Evan tried to kill him. This could mean that he could try even more to kill Evan and Vinnie, specifically Evan. Even though Slenderman might be helping the EverymanHYBRID crew, it may not help. Vinnie, obviously, is in a lot of danger since Evan couldn’t protect him.

If I come up with anything else, I’ll post another entry discussing it.
