I’m gonna guess that Starr is August
Okay think about it since your saying that the kid is somehow related to August you have to remember that Starr hired him. Another reason why I think it’s Starr is bc August attacked an orphanage right and why would he do something like that but I remembered that Starr was also apart of an orphanage that he didn’t like so maybe he hired somebody say for instance that kid to be “August” but in all actuality Starr is the “real August”. Also of course we all know that August is great at hiding cuz they still haven’t found him. But maybe August is hiding in plain sight. That’s another reason why I think it’s Starr bc he is a celebrity and people won’t suspect him since he’s out there in the public and people know who he is. But I’m probably wrong this is just my assumption lol.
Also I have one more thing lol another crazy prediction is maybe August aka Starr(in this case) knew about the relationship between the blonde(I forgot his name but he’s the mc) and Starr’s brother( I also forgot his name). And since we all know they hate each other he wanted to do something and attack the orphanage that blonde was in and was hoping that blonde would have died. And maybe August thought he was successful but wasn’t bc blonde got away and soon found out that he got away that’s why Starr hired that boy to stab him and do his whole plan thing to get back at his brother. But this is probably highly wrong bc the two brothers probably didn’t even meet yet during that time but whatever
In my opinion that's very naive... As u know August killing cases begin 2 yrs before the orphanage massacre... And at that time they were high scholars... And star isn't that old... And as star already mentioned that "we both r alike. So, having a new brother was an annoyance for us"... Which means they don't prefer each other and that cannot be taken as revenge for hate....
And start himself surfaced that the scar is kinda different .... Which can be seen as him being lowkey as August but nah that cannot be since his face and the vibe didn't match at all.... Specially their time together beside the stairs...
I think August can only gonna come out in surface only when they gonna see the resemblance of victims.... As how the certain knife used to kill them....
Another update and still no sight of Mash. Sad days ╥﹏╥
