What if the town isn’t actually killing Jade?
I think we might be reading Jade’s line wrong in Episode 5.
Jade says:
> “The town kills me every cycle.”
But what if the town isn’t literally killing him?
I started looking at all the different ways Jade dies:
- Christopher = neck wound
- railroad spike through the eye
- Civil War version (shot? poisoned?)
- crushed beneath a boulder
And what stood out to me is that most of them don’t look like a mob of townspeople turned on him.
They feel… personal.
Like betrayal.
Like someone close to him stopped him after he got too close to the truth.
Especially now that we know the children are beneath stone slabs — the boulder death suddenly feels suspicious.
Am I reaching here or does anyone else think Jade may have figured this out before in previous cycles?
(Also made a short theory video breaking it down if anyone wants it)
