I think you are missing the biggest clue of all! Wintermute! The secret message! What does it mean? To me it sounds like J is passing something on that will activate/deactivate this whole event! Theories on Wintermute? Or does it just imply what happens if you walk through the frozen Forrest spraining your ankles and wrists and what you become once you're hooked on painkillers and rose hips!

One thing you can say whether you love the game or not... Hinterland makes it beautifully! True artists!

It gets explained later.
