EMH: Twenty-four months

The latest update to EMH has surfaced, and this post follows my first time watching it.
The video starts with Vince filming Evan, asking him if there is anything he wants to say.
Evan seems hesitant at first. He seems to be talking about and to Vince and Jeff, stating that they are the only good thing to come out of the situation, and he will give everything for them. he will "fight tooth and nail".
Vince is next. Vince states that we should have figured it all out. he then retracts into the previous videos, stating that everything is is either ok, or them getting beat. and they cant keep saying that anymore.
Vince states that he doesnt have anyone apart from the group. just looking at the description, everyone has been left alone in this series, everyone apart from the mining town four: Vince, Jeff, Evan and Steph. Alex is dead, as are Jeff's parents. JessE and JessA both died. its odd to think that we really do only have 4 characters left.
Vince is thanking the group and the viewers for the support and the help. He also states that he needs the fans now more than ever.
speaking from an OOG aspect here, the way to have the fans support now, more than ever, is to resume regular updates. once a fortnight would be beyond perfect. just sayin.
Vince seems to break down a little and then films Jeff.
Jeff pleads the audience to "please, just stop watching us".
this could lead back to the original mythos, whereby the slenderman only gains power in attention. Plus, Jeff has had his parents, his brothers dog, his girlfriend and his brother die during the duration of this series so it is understandable. Jeff may also be the reason why updates have been few and far between.
The video blacks out before music starts up and the phrase "HAVE YOU MISSED ME?" appears on screen. already i am taking this as the return of HABIT.
The video clips to a sillouette of a man in a room, pointing, then to A day in the life clip, then to a wooded walk.
the wooded walk is cut into by footage of bloodied glasses on a roadside. possibly Vince's.
the next interruption is of a dark room and a torchlight piercing the darkness. the music is "The Best is yet to come" by Frank Sinatra, possibly alluding to the climax of the series, the return of HABIT, and the hope of fresh entries.
the video is interrupted again by the torchlight, actually appearing outside in Jeff's garden from the look of things, and showing bodybags on the deck. it then shows what looks to be Jeff face down on his floor, not moving.
some more clips of the wooded walk, and a cut to what is clearly Evan walking down a night time street. is this yet another hint that he is HABIT?
Evan's hunting knife appears next, pointing at a picture of Evan and Vince, seeming to indicate that Vince is next.
the next video is from the perspective of the torch holder.
then a bloodied hand, thought we cant see to whom it belongs.
more wooded walk then what looks to be the torch holder entering the house.
Evan's knife then circles Xbox games on a table. Bioshock is one of them, and he can leave that well alone.
The music fades and we are left with a sounded version of the torch barers perspective. it actually turns out not to be the torch barer, and the bodybags are actually the pool covering.
does the cameraman fall into the pool next, and the torch barer, who might be Evan/HABIT jumps into either kill or save them? is this the source of all the udnerwater clips?
judging by the sound of the breathing, the cameraman would be Vince.
the video ends with a clip of Evan drowning what looks to be Vince.
In Game Speculation:
the group are trying to remain loyal to the fans, though Jeff is making it hard. they seem to be slowing down. Vince could be attacked at the end, and HABIT could have returned to Evan.
Out Of Game Speculation:
the group are trying once again to draw people back in to the series, and the whisper of hope of fresh entries still carries into this video. whether this will happen is yet to be seen, though it is not to be expected.
Any of speculation i find after writing this blog entry will go below here.
