- Alternate Character Interpretation: Although the only thing that can be said for certain is that Al was motivated by loneliness, Fortress is shown to be using homophobic slurs in his comment responses, and if Al was a male as the narrator suggests, he may have been seeking a more intimate relationship than Fortress would have been comfortable with, thus the violent confrontation.
- This is also assuming that Al's comments about being alone are even genuine, and not some sociopath's Plan-B bait to lure the more sentimental of the possible treasure hunters into a death trap.
- Fridge Logic: If the only picture the authorities have of Fortress/Al is the picture of his body, then why does it look as though he was still alive when it was taken? Unless it's been photoshopped to look that way.
- People don’t usually die with their eyes closed unless they close them before death, and he probably wasn't stabbed in the face. So, depending on how fresh/well-preserved the body was, it's entirely plausible it could look like he was awake in a photo.
