Once again, TTA has used it several times, and it's in one of Alex's drawings in Entry #11.

Then what about the bullet casing?

1. Red herrings exist.
2. A shot fired in the dark out of sheer paranoia.
3. A murder (probably Brian) by our Masked friend. (gunshots don't HAVE to make much of a mess)


I'm still of the mind that the blood in the sink is what the coughing exhibited by Alex and Tim eventually leads to - hacking up copious amounts of blood in your bathroom sink - and that it has nothing to do with the bullet casing. Especially if the bullet was involved in some sort of murder or grievous injury.

I only say this because, while it is true that a gunshot wound doesn't have to bleed all over the place, the pattern of the blood found in the house simply doesn't fit with that of a gunshot wound. For example, while there are droplets of blood leading to the sink and spatterings of blood inside the sink itself (consistent with someone covering their mouth while trying to cough up their lung through their windpipe) there are no blood trails leading away from the sink, and no blood (as far as we see) found in the rest of the house.

Because of this, I'm more apt to draw a conclusion more along the lines of your first two suggestions, and seeing Alex coughing into the sink in the latest Entry seems to be a purposeful call-back to the bloody sink in Brian's house.


There wouldn't be blood anywhere else if the person bandaged the wound over the sink.

I'm taking this to mean that Alex is responsible for the state we inevitably find Jessica in, at least indirectly. Not sure why Slendy wants her, though, but Alex is clearly lying to her on Slendy's behalf. My biggest question from all this really is, why send Alex home? Slendy, as far as we know, just had Alex in his possession. Why send him home to make the phone call, and then come scoop him up again?

Which leads me to think there's possibly some gap in time between this and #43, but that doesn't really work for more than a day or two, because Alex had only just called her about Amy. So... any thoughts on why he needed to be sent home at all? If it's just that Alex wanted Slendy to come back that badly, and was calling him, then why would Alex have left him in the first place?


perhaps alex got in touch with her. either talked to her or went tta on her ass.

as far as why he needed to be sent home and supposedly "called." the operator I haven't the slightest clue besides that the "slendersickness" wore off and he found himself somewhere where he had no idea how he got there. much like jay did when he woke up in his car after going in brains house. (the 2nd time.)

Alex was also running water here, the other sink was completely red.

If you recall the power didn't work when Jay went to the house, which means the water didn't either.

Also, if you're in a Mask-wearing Slender-fueled schizophrenic rush, it's easy to hide a body, especialy when you have doors that can't open for some people.

If "Return" happened at the house, then the house did have power.

Powered by Slendy[TM]? Jay flipped the light switches all over the house to no avail.

If Jay was expected, then someone could easily flip their breakers to keep him from lighting it up. He didn't check either the breakers or the faucets.

Damn it I guess I don't know as much as I thought. I knew tta used it but I didn't know it was in 11.

Another question: why does the operator appear two or three times in this entry
? Why didn't he just take him the first time instead of pulling a masky? Or was it shot from different angles? :/

I thought of this possibility as I was writing the response, but then whose wound would it have been? Tim seems uninjured during his confrontation with Jay, other than his seizure-like episodes. We never see anyone else in Brian's house (although we do see evidence that someone else might have been staying there at some point). We never see any gauze wrappings or bandages in the house, or any first aid equipment of any kind. If that was the route they wanted our minds to go, it would have been very easy to subtly imply that there was a gunshot wound involved by having these things visible in the background at some point.

Instead, we get people coughing blood into sinks.

There would be blood where they were shot. There would be blood between where they were shot and the bathroom, all over that nice beige carpet. There would be blood not just in the sink but on it. Even if the person were shot directly over the sink and the shooter dropped the gun to step in and help them bandage up, there would still be blood spatter, not just a few drops on the tile from the doorway to the sink.

That's not as much blood as you'd see from an inconvenient cutting board accident, much less a gunshot.

Why are you arguing about electricity? You should be arguing about the influence of alex's bracelet. He's still rocking it.

At the time, the clues were droplets leading to a sink and a bullet casing in the nearby room. If they had wanted us to follow a coughing line of thought, Jay would have coughed up small droplets of blood in 16.

Brian could have been shot. His whereabouts are unaccounted for, while everyone else has been, in some way shape or form.

 		To put my two cents in, someone (I'm tired and can't remember where I read it, sorry) asked why Slendy would bother lurking around in-and-out-of-frame for so long if he can just take them, my guess would be that he enjoys stalking.

It seems to me that the creators intended to create a being who is the embodiment of unidentifiable paranoia. Total helplessness. And the hunt and stalk, for him, would be satisfying the very purpose of his existence.

 		I still think Brian is TTA, so if they want to stage a death...go ahead.

There are other people to worry about (e.g. Hoody) than just Slenderman.
