Current & Unconfirmed Theories

 * Cut short: It is believed that this book was originally meant to be longer (the average Choices book ranges between 15 to 20 chapters) but was cut short due to negative reception.

Confirmed Theories

 * Town cleanup: In Chapter 2, there's an announcement that players will have opportunities to clean up Cedarport. This has led them to believe that they will have to pay diamonds for these opportunities. This is confirmed in Chapter 4, where there's a premium option to improve Cedarport's traffic congestion.
 * Monteverde: Players believe that Monteverde is responsible for the pollution in Cedarport that killed its fish because its CEO Warner Rafferty appears in cleanup efforts as PR moves to deflect the residents' suspicions. This is confirmed in Chapter 9 as Eddie revealed Monteverde is guilty of illegal dumping which resulted in the fish die-off.
 * Stabbed fish and vandalized house: Many players, as well as the MC and Charlie, believe that Monteverde arranged for the stabbed fish to be placed in the family car to try to intimidate Charlie into dropping her initiative. They also believe that Monteverde is responsible for the vandalized house and boat that was discovered at the end of Chapter 9. This is confirmed in Chapter 10 as Eddie discloses that Monteverde hired an outside party to vandalize your car, house, and boat.
