Regan and Tyne never had a chance to be connected. They had all their limbs and it looked like a regular homicide, not part of The Hangman’s game. At the time, that’s what I wanted. I didn’t want them to be connected then, but now, it’s time to come clean.

When I saw Elizabeth had solved the first one, it was time to step up my game. Her next clue was straightforward:

They aren’t all women.

She’d have to learn eventually. The sooner the better. We had a deadline to meet, and I needed her to start figuring shit out. So, if she needed handrails until she got her confidence back, then that’s what I would do.

Remember the order, defy, objectified, misemphasized, and unpublicized.

The order and names are your key.

_ _ _ _ _ are objectified. The _ _ _ _ _ are misemphasized, and two are unpublicized. But it all started because of an _ _ _ _ _ _.

First letters: You were husband and _ _ _ _. You love Ryan, but _ _ _ got in the way. First letter of the alphabet.

It wasn’t time to give her everything yet, but she needed to get started. She was too busy running around trying to get everything together. She wanted to save Ruby and Ryan. I guess at the very least it got her attention, but she stopped caring for herself and she was letting it get in her way. She was better than this. If she wasn’t then I wasted my game on her.

I shook myself mentally. That wasn’t fair. Elizabeth was new to the game. She didn’t know everything. She needed to play catch up. But time’s catching up to me. She would have to play with the information she had. For now, it wouldn’t be so bad for her to think there were only twelve people killed. It might even make it clearer for her.

She needed the help to clear her mind. She was too busy worrying about her friends. I was over them now. I killed to get a message across and she got her message. No one else needed to die. That’s not to say that someone won’t die. They just didn’t need to right now. There were a few on my watch list in case I needed them, if Elizabeth decided to not play anymore or got too far off track.

Though, her drive to save her friends told me she’d be better than Henry. He let the loss consume him, not drive him. He let them fall to the wayside and continued to ignore the message. He lied on the police reports, said that only the women matter. The first kill had been a woman, that meant to him only the woman killed mattered. In a sense, he was right,

Too bad he didn’t see that women matter before their deaths.

He didn’t want his ‘buddies’ to be on the list of the dead because he didn’t want it on his conscience. That’s why I added them to the list.
