The letters mention days. 146000 days. That's over 400 years. How curious. My baseless theories are looking better.

I still think they are the lovers from 400 years ago, but this basically calls it that Gavin is the one they call the Butcher. Pulls a freakin meat cleaver out to fight a monster. Screams butcher.

For my baseless accusation of today, I'm going to say the Smyth is the lover/husband of Christabel and that's why he has 2 rings around his neck.

And the reason he seems to know so much about Aryella is because she is actually Christabel. The curse the BBEG put on Christabel didn't kill her, but did take her memory.

As for evidence of this...eh. blame the tropes.

Wait. If the wolf killed all the chickens, of which it sounded like there was more than one, why not eat those before going out to hunt a hare?

Chicken ready to go and you hunt instead?
