The shortest way of identify Alexander.
I'm looking at how I can distinguish people when their faces become clear (since the shortest timing I can identify the person should be there).
Looking at the memory of Zungi at P 67 , the face of Alexander Booth has become clear.
How can I identify Alexander at this timing? (Pages been appeared at this point are one in Zungi and others in chapters 7, 9, and 10 )

・P75 artist's memory has shown me 6 empty hammocks. Is it a hint?
At this point, the hammocks whose owners remained unknown are 36th (Persian) and 57th (Alexander). The face of Persians has not become clear at this time.

Alexander becomes cleared when you see him leave the ship in Doom part 1. That's right after you've seen Doom part 2, where you can see his empty hammock. The other empty hammock belongs to Nathan Peters which you can identify because he has a brother, and the other person in the boat does not wear the clothes of a seaman, so the hammock belongs to the third person that left that night.

Playing the game again, Alexander’s face had not become clear at Doom part 1. Soldiers of sea part 7 (Zungi) makes his face clear.
But I think your advice is right. Doom part 1 and 2 are keys to distinguish Alexander.
Persian had left his favorite sword at his empty hammock. So, he didn’t have the plan to escape outside. It reinforces your ideas.

↓In my playing of this time, I found those reason.
At Soldiers of sea part 7, I can distinguish the purser because of his working place. Perhaps this game thought that we could not distinguish Alexander from the purser at Doom part 1. (We can’t decide the purser’s uniform because only one purser is in this ship.) That is why Soldiers of sea part 7 makes Alexander’s face clear, I think.
Your advice gives me this idea. Thank you.

Booth is definitley one of the people you id through process of elimination. Once you id the other 3 empty hammocks in Doom pt.2 you get him.

I see.
My ideas are based on the time that this game's systems show us "You can distinguish this people right now" and make people's face clear.
But there is shorter time to distinguish Alexander! That is the way presented by the two respondents.
It is very interesting. Thank you.

※In this time, I played the game with the book which is nothing written by the insurance adjuster. It might have effect somethings in the game. I should have said it at first, sorry.

Strange that he didn't unblur for you. A friend recently played through the game together with me, and Alexander was definitely unblurred right after Doom 1, because whenever he beat a chapter he was very thorough with looking through it before moving on so he figured out Alexander before he even started Soldiers of the Sea.

It seems like the unblurring may be a little buggy or at least inconsistent, because when we reached Calling part 6 the game unblurred Bun-Lan Lim even though no names are mentioned in this part and you're not supposed to figure it out until part 5.

It is very strange.
I played this game again after I saw your first answer. At Doom part 1&2 and Soldiers of sea part 7, I saw Alexander's picture whether their face was clear. I did it in the middle of the scene and after finishing. So, I thought that Soldiers of sea part 7 is the point.

When I listened to your example, I thought that "the face becomes clear" rule has things I do not really understand.
Thank you, I will think about it. . .
