Theory for ‘If we were villains’

TW: mentions of suicide and just general If we were villains angst

After Richard (who once again was being an asshole) tried to drown James in the lake and everyone else has left, an interaction between James and Oliver occurs. Now I -like many others- am a firm believer that James is still alive and I believe that this is even more proof than we already have:

“You want me to stay” I asked. I didn’t want to leave him.

“Please,” he said, in a small voice. “I just couldn’t deal with the rest of them, for a while”

This book is littered with foreshadowing throughout and I’m certain that this is a perfect example. This scene is a way of proving that James’ suicide note was in fact a clue for Oliver. Let me explain:

In both scenarios James has been drowned, once by Richard and once in a supposed suicide. Already this links the two scenes but it goes further. In the scene above after James has been submerged he lets the others in the group head back to the castle but asks Oliver to stay, and I believe that he is doing the same thing with his suicide note. The letter he sends is not only addressed for Oliver only, but it includes an extract that is important to his and Oliver’s relationship, that letter and the message hidden within it was something that James knew only Oliver would see. By using the extract of Pericles he sends out a message he knows Oliver would see as a clue.

The parallel between the two scenes is undeniable. Both times James has been submerged (literally or not) and has kept himself and his emotions hidden away from his group all whilst quietly begging Oliver -his lover- to stay and help him.
