I had a really long analysis written, but then I lost it...


So here's what we can confirm, 100%, about Philter, from the diary alone.

- They have or had access to Shalerich Apartments.
- They have or had access to Topwire Broadcasting's storage room.
- They either have no friends or feel as though they have no friends.
- As of the time of the diary's writing, they were employed and found their job unfulfilling.
- They are or were depressed.
- They do or did want to be someone else.


I also mark that the handwriting on the note and on the diary entry are both very similar. Either the note was a very convincing forgery, or it was, in fact, written by the real Philter. I'm pretty sure that Dominique can't be Philter, as Philter was friendless or felt friendless as of the time of the diary's writing and Dominique and Rusco seemed to be pretty close for a long time. Rabukan and Enassik are probably clear, for similar reasons. I honest-to-goodness don't think this clears Nairek - an unhappy marriage can leave one feeling friendless. Do we know whether Nairek had been employed previously, and what her job was? I know she's unemployed now, but that doesn't rule out her having quit or been fired recently.


It... might be worth a shot to talk to Nairek about this very bluntly. And yeah, I can't believe I'm saying that, either. I'm not recommending it, but it's something to consider.
