The PUZZLE explained....

This comes as a response to a mate of mine that has asked me bout the object in the detective's eye. Is it or is it not there?
Well, I'm gonna clear that up and explain other things or plot holes in the process. That doesn't mean you won't scratch your head anymore after reading the story, saying ''what was that all about?'', but I hope I can shed some light on a few things.I wanted to give answers to non-asked questions anyhow, so here there are.
First of all the object/microscopic camera or whatever you'd like to call it, that causes the officer eye problems is not there. It's just the feeling that there's something inside him, that's taking over, something that he can't scratch or make it go away, cause at the end it's him. The problems with his eyes come from the images of those dead girls his bad half murdered, images that are stuck inside his brain. Remember he had nighmares in the beggining of the case.Remember also, the officer does take an eye test but the doctor doesn't find anything, cause there's nothing there, in the first place.It's more of a mental felt problem rather than physical, although he can't tell the difference .
Ok, the whole story is a modern take on Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde myth. Double personality. The Hulk and Dr Banner. This time though, the cop is not aware of having an alter-ego, much less he's a killer, the one he's looking for so passion-filled.The killer, on the other hand knows everything about the officer, that's why he's not leaving any prints or evidence material at the crime scenes. He's trying to slowly break his cop side down with his killings and take over. But how in the hell are they the same person? They meet, talk, they share a few pages being face to face.Well, that's the battle that goes inside himself, a battle that he loses at the end, resulting in the killer taking over full time.
So, there's no one breaking the cop's apartment, trashing his house, there're no black guys abducting him.That's why there's only James in the mansion at the end. And that's why he doesn't tell his fellow colleagues about the meeting with the killer two days after.There is no such thing.By that time the killer has taken over and just plays the cop part.
The last letter the precinct receives is written by the cop in his last moments of control over his mind and actions.
Ok. Another hint at double personality is the ''puzzle'' confession. The killer himself talks about not liking puzzles in the beggining of his life, but bit by bit he learnt to. You can take that as the transformation inside him, his mind slowly changing, without him actually noticing.Just like remembering how fat or skinny you were ten years ago, or how your hair looked. You don't realize the change has been radical till late.That's what happens with the cop, he knows he's the killer when it's too late.Besides, the officer's gun fitted the killer's hand perfectly, remember?
The fake book The barbie Syndrome (which I might write some day in the future) is not mentioned concidentally. Remember, the actions of the killer in the book are triggered by math ecuations. It's not pointed out in the story, but the japanese killer grows as a half-retarded, math-hater in his childhood, only to become a sort of genious in his late twenties when he starts his killing spree.That's why our killer does what he does after doing puzzles.The cop does not know how to solve any, that's why he loses out to the killer. Am I making this even more ambiguos than the actual story?Oh well....
Anyway, just cause I tried to put some points on things, that doesn't mean any of you can't make their own version of how things went.I ain't gonna hold a grudge. I just thought an explanation was needed and hence I wrote the stuff I should at least be clear and precise.
Till we meet again, all the best and read my stuff, listen to the music up on here.
Shout out to all Romanians out there(it's national day today, Dec 1st!!!!, although I couldn't care less :)))))) and a special thank you to Moromete cause he's been reading my crazy stuff from beggining, and I hope he'll still do....:))
Cheers,
