Craig Digsby will not be told what he can and can't do. And it is not "Digsby", it's "Mr. Digsby".

It's most likely Tim's mental issues were originally caused by the the Operator. It's uncertain though, so hopefully they'll address this.

And about Tim and Alex being childhood friends. Now that I think about it, Tim can't really trust his own memory, so he might have been friends with Alex when he was little, and just not remember it.

Tim and Alex knowing each other as children and then forgetting is a little bit too close to another plot of a certain game, that I really enjoy, that I think I have mentioned before. I would be thoroughly disappointed if this was the case and I feel it would be a weak plot twist/ending as I'm guessing a lot of people have probably played it.

Again:

Entry #66:

TIM: ...got into college, that's where I met Brian, the first real friend I remember having."
JAY: "That's where you met Alex too, right?"
TIM: -nods- "Yeah..."

Tim didn't have any friends until college, where he met Brian and Alex. He spent the majority of his childhood in a mental hospital.

With this in mind: How could he have possibly went to Alex's birthday party?

Maybe he wasn't hospitalized until after the party? They were very young; it's possible they could've briefly been childhood friends (or acquaintances; I don't know how well they'd need to know each other to get b-day party invites), and forgotten about it even without any Operator mind screws. They were only about eight, and if Tim "went away" shortly afterwards it's plausible Alex wouldn't remember him later in life. And Tim definitely wouldn't, since he spent years taking enough medication to kill an elephant.

That being said, I don't believe this theory either. Very Happy

Entry 60.5 shows Tim's papers shows he had on operation on jan. 10. The big question is was the operation when he was a child or recent (for a smashed leg or broken skull). The weird thing was the paper had a big operator symbol on it. This raises the questions; What did Tim's operation have to do with all this? Was the operator involved in the surgery? Why did hoody redact the whole thing? Is this a red herring? I'm sorry I bring up old things but they never get answered. On here or the entries.
