91 Days Episode 5 Discussion

Okay, so this may just be me taking every little detail way too seriously, but I've come to believe that Barbero wrote the letter, or at least was the 4th killer.

For one, Barbero is a family member and close friends with Nero and Vanno. It wouldn't be very unlikely for him to have attended (and since he's called 'the brains of the operation', not very unlikely for him to have waited by the car either?).

Another thing I noticed in this episode is that, while Corteo had seemed against the revenge idea initially (as mentioned by Angelo), after Nero and Angelo arrived at the Lodge, and he'd spent some time alone with Barbero to have a chat with him, and then quickly brought up the subject with Angelo.

I'm not entirely sure of Barbero's position in the family, but perhaps he would want to rise in the rankings and could do so if the Vanettis died? Of course, Frate has a much more likely motive than Barbero.

In the opening, a moment passes where Corteo stands with the relection of somewhere with a flipped up coat collar pointing a gun at him. Corteo himself was probably not the fourth killer, as he was too young and back at his apartment by the time Angelo arrived, but perhaps he is involved with Barbero? Maybe he received information from Barbero about Angelo's whereabouts, and wrote the letter without revealing the mysterious fourth person so he wouldn't be in much danger.

And finally, while this may just be coincidence, in the ending while the characters' faces are shown in the pieces of glass, Barbero is suspiciously shown in the smallest piece of glass right before Nero. Perhaps the characters are listed off here with those following Angelo or preceeding Nero as the next main/important/involved characters. If the list were in ascending order (with the only exception being Nero), I doubt Barbero would be so unimportant as to be listed last. Of course, this might just be random.

I wasn't going to say anything as I'm new to this site and not exactly an active poster (this is my first post lmao), but I have yet to see anyone else come to this conclusion and I'm curious to see if anyone else has considered it.
