** [[spoiler: Semi-confirmed. Two of the contestants (Beth and Liza) were relatives of the project head, Rae was Tiana's ex, and Aether was an AI shaped by Sean, who was "friends" with Ink. As these are the true identities of all the contacts, they did indeed play a significant role in the contestants' selection.]]

** Even more tantalizing is that ''she appears to have some connection with the voice that speaks to Ink during his unconscious segments''. She's been known to trigger flashbacks of the voice. when the voice finally does speak back, it uses the same dialogue options Ink had for her at the beginning of the game. Note that this voice is also not we the players, as it knows things we don't know, like the secret about the hotel doors. ''Which the killer used to hide the murder weapon.'' And Aether has already been shown to know things she shouldn't know.

There's been a bit of a pattern with the puzzles subtly hinting at upcoming plot twists. The first puzzle in Beth's corner, we missed. The first puzzle in Rae's corner ended with a man's limb being cut off. The first puzzle in Liza's corner was solved by Sean. The first puzzle in the remaining corner uses a rather cryptic "+1" for its hint, which conveniently mirrors the title of the chapter where Tiana and Sean were added, "+2". It also explains how [[spoiler: Beth was murdered]] when the only available suspects are people we've come to know and trust.

[[WMG: Aether murdered Beth]]
* If the above theory turns out not to be the case, there's fairly compelling reason to lend credence to the idea that the murderer was Aether. By process of elimination: Ink and Liza are ruled out, as they were both in the boiler room during the time of the murder. It seems highly unlikely that Rae could have pulled off killing Beth with a picture frame with only one arm, though not impossible. However, he also had absolutely no reason to do so, and seems quite fond of Beth and torn up over her death, unless he's just a really good actor. This leaves Sean, Tiana, and Aether. With [[spoiler: Sean's implied death via self-sacrifice.]], it seems highly improbable that he was the killer. This leaves Tiana and Aether, and unless we're missing some critical information, Tiana has absolutely no motive for killing Beth.
** Of course, neither does Aether. But we've been getting hints almost from the very beginning that there's ''something'' off about Aether, down to her very name. The Four Elements hotel. [[MeaningfulName Aether.]] The fact that she almost never experiences the coughing blood bouts other guests do. That she instinctively trusts Ink without a stated reason. That none of the corners have targeted her so far. That she was one of the only two do wake up in a room with another person. The fact that the number 4 keeps coming up in the game but there are 5 guests, implying 1 extra (the +1) that shouldn't be there.
