Marble Hornets

In the aftermath of the argument at the car, Alex's plans appear to be a complete cessation of cooperation with Jay and secrecy, but they are in fact intended to further his larger goal: the elimination of everyone who has ever come into contact with the Operator. Alex believes that the Operator is spreading through human contact, so he has decided to kill everyone associated with the Operator, including himself, to stop its spread. After breaking up with Jay, he continues to secretly carry out this plan, and Jay, as someone deeply involved in the story, also becomes one of his targets. Specifically, this manifests itself in the following way: during their argument, he refuses to provide information about Jessica and explicitly states that he will stop helping, indicating an unwillingness to allow Jay to continue to interfere; later, he arranges a meeting with Jay and Jessica and leads them to a building in Rosswood Park, where, after they go upstairs, Alex pulls out a gun and attempts to shoot Jay and Jessica, but they are ultimately saved by Masked Tim (Tim's alternate personality, The Mask). This shows that his plan during this period had already shifted from passive avoidance to active elimination: after the breakup, Alex was not so much building some complex plot, but, guided by his own paranoia and the logic of “murder is salvation,” he began to view Jay and Tim as targets that needed to be eliminated.

The meeting took place inside the building. Jay saw Tim on the street but didn't have time to follow him. After some time, she spotted him going to the clinic and waited for Tim there, where they began a conversation.

But Tim wasn't on Jay's side from the start. Later, Tim calls Jay and says they need to talk. When they meet, Tim punches Jay in the face, angrily declaring that he found the Marble Hornets YouTube channel and now knows Jay's true intentions. Tim blames Jay for everything that happened, says he was feeling better before meeting Jay, and ultimately declares that he wants nothing to do with Jay anymore.

Afterwards, Jay explores the tunnel alone, finds Tim's medical records (epilepsy, headaches, insomnia, depression), and realizes something is wrong with Tim too. Then the Hooded Man (Hoodie) steals Tim's medication, Tim has a seizure, and flees into the forest of Rosswood Park.

Jay goes into the woods to look for Tim and encounters Tim in a mask (Tim's alternate identity, Matki). Tim chases Jay and drags him away. The next morning, both wake up in a shack in the woods.

It's after this that they actually sit down and talk, and then form an alliance: they agree to deal with Alex together, on the condition that they help Jay find Jessica afterward.

Alex is furious that Jay broke into his house and took the tape. They get into an argument near Jay's car.

Alex declares he won't help Jay anymore. Jay, in turn, demands Jessica's number. Alex refuses. Then Jay takes Alex's keys and locks them in his car, forcing Alex to give up the number to get the keys back.
Immediately after the argument: Jay tracks down Alex:
After they part, Jay doesn't back down, but begins secretly following Alex. He discovers Alex regularly appears in the Rosswood Park forest and follows him until he finds Alex near a tunnel. Thinking Alex has spotted him, Jay runs away.
From that moment on, they officially stop helping each other. Alex leaves, and Jay remains with Jessica's number—and with the understanding that they will have to proceed without Alex.

After Jay wakes up in a hotel with a blackout (season two), he reconnects with Alex. They temporarily begin working together: they drive to Amy's house together, return to the building together where they meet Tim, and search for locations associated with the Operator together. During this period, Alex isn't yet perceived as an enemy—he's more fearful and paranoid, but still a person Jay is trying to understand.

However, the tension is mounting: Alex is not sharing information, leading Jay along, and not explaining his actions.

Jay watches tape after tape. The recordings show Alex becoming increasingly paranoid, drawing symbols, and reacting to interference. Jay begins his own investigation: he searches for filming locations, encounters "toTheArk" (an account that hacks his channel and posts mysterious videos), and gradually realizes that someone (or something) has been following Alex.

At this stage, Jay is not yet Alex's ally, but rather an observer who is trying to reconstruct the picture from old recordings.

It all begins when Jay, a film student, receives tapes from his friend Alex Kraley, recording the making of his student film, "Marble Hornets." Alex abandoned the project and gave the tapes to Jay on the condition that he never speak of them again.

Over time, Jay begins posting these recordings on YouTube to figure out what happened. He gradually notices the Cameraman (a tall, faceless figure) and strange interference in the tapes, and also realizes that Alex had been acting increasingly strange during filming.

He often keeps his long, pale arms politely crossed behind his back or hanging loosely at his sides. His suit is black, and he is sometimes depicted in stripes, which is a common misconception due to the very similar Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas. He has long tails, which he proudly unravels. He wears long dress shoes that are always polished to a perfect, sparkling black.

Behavior
with a general aura of mystery with which he is shrouded. Despite the fact that he is rumored to kill almost exclusively children, it is difficult to say whether his only target is to kill children.

It is often reported or recorded that it can be found in forests, which are usually found in the suburbs. He was also reported to have been seen with large groups of children, as in many photographs. It is generally believed that it lives in forests and copses and hunts children. He doesn't seem bothered by the fact that he's in daylight or pictured in photos.

It is also often believed that he enjoys chasing people who become overly paranoid about his existence, deliberately showing himself to them to scare them even more. For this reason, it seems that the Slender Man takes great pleasure in psychologically torturing his victims.

It also often appears to float or drift rather than walking, suggesting that it is more of a disembodied creature than a creature or human. This also explains why he is able to maintain mobility despite his poor physique.

However, in the end, its purpose remains unknown.

Slender Man (Operator)

Appearance

The Slender Man is a creature (presumably male) that looks like a human with extremely long, slender arms and legs. It also has 4 to 8 long black tentacles protruding from its back, although different photos and enthusiasts disagree, and so it is speculated that it can "contract" these tentacles at will.

He is described as wearing a black suit strikingly similar to that of the notorious Men in Black, and as the name suggests, looks very thin and is able to stretch his limbs and torso to an inhuman length to induce fear and trap his prey. As soon as he stretches out his arms, his victims fall into a kind of hypnotic state, where they are completely helpless to stop themselves from stepping on them.

He is also capable of creating tentacles from his fingers and back, which he walks on, similar to Doctor Octopus. The superhuman ability to stretch can also be seen as a resemblance between him and Mister Fantastic.

Whether he absorbs, kills, or simply transports his victims to an unknown location or dimension is also unknown, as he never leaves behind any bodies or evidence to draw a definitive conclusion.

His face is pale and slightly ghostly, it seems that it is wrapped in some kind of gauze or cloth. His facial features are also a subject of controversy, with many believing that his face looks different to each person, if it can be seen at all.

He can yell because of a trifle - the tripod is not standing right, the light is not directed in the right direction, he is five minutes late. He loses control over his emotions.

Tim later admitted that Alex began to put pressure on him - he was furious because of every mistake.
And then the strange things began. Someone began to leave dead animals near Alex's house. First a bird, then a cat. Alex spoke about it in a somewhat detached way, as if it no longer surprised him. {{user}} did not know what to think. Maybe one of the locals decided to make a joke? But the joke was too dark.
At some point, Alex just snapped. He announced that you were stopping filming because "the conditions are not right." {{user}} Tim and Brian exchanged glances.
