Angles of the 4 lines on the last page: the top line is a separate thought?(!)

Koen uploaded a new video today (yes!) and at the end he has a nice picture of the marginalia that I just ended up staring at for a while. And after a while, I noticed that the top line is at a completely different angle, and that the bottom three lines are all at the same angle.

As you can see on the picture below, the top line is about as flat/straight of an angle as you would expect from someone writing by hand, it is essentially perfect.

The bottom three lines, all of them, are arched, almost vaulted, rising upwards towards the middle of the page before falling downwards again.

To me, it clearly looks like the first line was written at one point in time and the other three lines were written together at a separate time. It could still be the same person or whatever, but such a radical shift in tilting does not change within seconds. The first line is separate from the other three at least in time. 

It could still be the same guy writing "buck's liver for lunch" at 08:00 and then when he clocks out at 17:00 he writes his charm for his pregnant wife or whatever, but you're not gonna get it closer than that.
