An idea occurred to me (a crazy one, but still): if the oracle's speech fits so well with Drnick and his Dostoevsky, could Drnick be the killer, and he died because he encountered a doppelganger? Although this doesn't quite align with the corruption of ND by a rebellious soul, and the last phrase about Hermit becomes unclear...
I had that thought too.... :rolleyes:
I'll pass for now as well, NNV.
