I have a theory.
What if the solution has nothing to do with the people trapped in Fromville?
Imagine that someone in the real world, with no connection to the town, hears about the bottle tree or simply discovers it while exploring. Out of curiosity, they decide to investigate it.
While examining the tree, they accidentally find something important—a hidden mechanism, a message, a symbol, or even trigger something without realizing it.
What if the answer has been in the real world all along, and it takes someone completely unrelated to the town to discover it? The people in Fromville may never have had a chance to solve the mystery because they were looking from the wrong side.
It would be a huge twist if the person who finally discovers the solution isn’t Boyd, Tabitha, Jade, or Victor—but just an ordinary person who stumbles upon it by accident.
