What if Harry's Assumptions are Wrong?

Wouldn't be the first time would it? Finally the book arrived around one this afternoon.. I began
reading, why is it when you want peace and to be left alone, it doesn't happen?
Anyway, I haven't gotten too far, but a thought occurred to me as Harry gazed at his mangled brother.
What if his assumptions were wrong? What if
(click to show/hide)Thomas wasn't saying "Justine" at all? What if "Junghg.S'Jnngh." was the person or creature that put him up to committing this crime? And on Demonreach as he was being put under in the cell, "J. . .J. . ." it wasn't Justine at all on his lips, he was still attempting to tell Harry who really was behind all of this?
After I've finished this book, need to go back and check out names that are even remotely close, who do they belong to? It could be very important in how this all comes out.

I'm speculating that it's Genoskwa. The Genoskwa seems similar to the Skywalker in terms of peer and maliciousness; it could have similarly tortured Thomas using the Hunger.
ClintACK:
Thomas is still able to feed -- see Lara feeding him energy in the boat at the end.
It's just that Thomas was beaten until his Hunger stopped healing the damage, because it was out of energy. It's like what the Naagloshi did to Thomas in Turn Coat, but without the delicate balance.

Thomas attacking the Swartelves, a leaker from Lara's court. Could this be Eb taking revenge on the Raith's? Or maybe Marcone is plotting a take down his primary supernatural rival in Chicago.

That's an interesting thought. Add to that -- Lara's great victory was getting Thomas moved to Marcone's stronghold, where it turned out there was a glaring opening in his defenses. If this was his plot, you know he's got lots of video of Lara and Dresden breaking Thomas out.
I'm not sure how he'd provide what Thomas needs, though. He might be able to buy help with that from Odin, but why wouldn't Thomas be able to just buy that himself?

Solid point.
morriswalters:
Yeah, I'm on my second reread and I missed Lara feeding him. Iteration two is that there are two Justine's.

Maybe it will come out in the second reading, but I'd like to have seen Harry go into motives for what Thomas did.
