# Main Mysteries - Who is the human BEATRICE that fixes Maria's candy? - Maria clearly appears to have a personality disorder (the "Kihihihi" stuff). - Kanon saw how violent Rosa was with Maria, and then **Maria suggests to Kanon that they meet with BEATRICE**. - Rosa comes back to Maria, and a seemingly human BEATRICE appears. - ==**Either it is a disguised Kanon (or perhaps Shannon, but less likely) who wanted to play along with Maria, or it is simply a shared hallucination of theirs.**== But how would they receive the two letters? - BEATRICE asks her: "…Does my face look familiar? If you stare so fixedly, you might burn a hole through it." - The narration states that "Rosa had known her face….She had known it from the portrait of the witch." But it also could have been because she saw Kanon through… - Who is the human BEATRICE that Kyrie saw in the hall? - Either this scene is completely fictional, or Kanon/Shannon is really good at disguising him/herself. - Actually, it probably isn't be fictional, since Kyrie claims to have seen BEATRICE in presence of Battler later on. Then again, Rosa could have ordered Kyrie to play along… - I'd understand why Genji would play along, but Kyrie apparently really thought it was BEATRICE. Natsuhi does not seem to be aware. - Perhaps the servants of the One-Winged Eagle have their own agenda? - Who is the human BEATRICE to whom Kanon talks? - **==Maybe it is a metaphor of Kanon's own imagination?==** Otherwise I don't know. - Who is the human BEATRICE to whom Shannon talks? - **==Maybe it is a metaphor of Shannon's own imagination?==** Otherwise I don't know. - **Shannon tells George in their moment alone that she did not talk about anything when she brought BEATRICE dinner.** - Whom do the adults meet in the chapel and recognize as BEATRICE? - I'd like to think that this scene is at least partially fake and it is Rosa who showed them gold ingots. - But this does not make sense w.r.t. the end of the episode, where Rosa asks for BEATRICE. She didn't solve the epitaph after all, so who could have found the ingots? - Who committed the murders of the first twilight (Krauss, Natsuhi, Eva, Hideyoshi, Rudolf, Kyrie)? - ==**I suspect Rosa**==. - While looking at the corpses, alone, the narration states: **"Even though there could be nothing more tragic, …for some reason, their fantastical deaths tempted her…to describe them as beautiful…"** - That does sound like a confession, if I may say so… - In the EP4's Tea Party, BEATRICE says: <span style="color: ff0000">"From the time Maria received her key to the instant Rosa unsealed the envelope the next day, the key passed through no one's hands!!"</span> **But Rosa could have unsealed the envelope before the time that was showed on-screen!** - LAMBDADELTA says in EP4's ???: <span style="color: ff0000">"When the six were murdered in the chapel, the culprit was inside the chapel."</span> - Maybe the victims were poisoned or restrained and killed by Rosa and the servants? - What is the miracle of the chapel? - Battler reads: "…My English sucks. What is it…? …\<This door is\>… \<opened\>… \<only at\>… \<probability of\>…?? Sorry, my English sucks." - Maria completes: "…It means something like this. 'This door is opened only when a miracle occurs. You will be blessed only when a miracle occurs'." - Maybe this helps understand why Rosa had the victims murdered in the chapel? - Who committed the murders of the second twilight (Jessica and Kanon)? - **==I also suspect Rosa as she goes alone to the study, purpotedly to check on Genji and Shannon==**. The butterfly that stopped on Rosa's back is perhaps a hint to mean that Rosa will act "as BEATRICE" and perform the second twilight? - **She could have found Kanon outside the room, asked him to open the door and killed them both before going to the study.** - BEATRICE asserts that <span style="color: ff0000">"Kanon was killed in this room"</span>. - **She pretends to have met Kinzo, so she's absolutely lying.** - Shannon says to George: "I am sorry to have worried you. The Master ordered me to copy down something…" - **The "Master" could be Rosa** asking Shannon to write the letters à la BEATRICE. - **It is Rosa who finds the key to Jessica's room inside the room: she may have set it there shortly before so as to pretend to find it.** - Shannon claims that "Milady wasn't in the habit of locking her room," so maybe Rosa didn't even need Kanon to unlock the door. - Who is the Kanon that the servants witnessed in the kitchen? - The simplest explanation is that there was no Kanon, since Kanon was killed in Jessica's room. **Genji prepared a knife**, according to the narration, so maybe he was the one to kill Nanjo and Kumasawa? I can't see Gohda do it… Or **maybe it was Shannon**. - The fake Kanon claims that **"\[Rosa\] wants to kill everyone by any means necessary before the typhoon passes, so that she can have the Master's wealth all to herself. She told me so clearly."** - ==**Actually, it makes a lot of sense…**== - Maybe it is a metaphor for saying that the servants were starting to suspect Rosa… - Shannon leaves and then comes back, and at that moment Nanjo and Kumasawa die. - **A possible explanation was that the servants were instructed by Rosa to kill Nanjo and Kumasawa and then to find an explanation.** That could explain Genji and Shannon's being calmer than Gohda. - Rosa asks Genji for explanations, and once he finds one, Shannon and Gohda confirm because they are at a loss about what to do. - **Why does Rosa want to go and check the bodies, though? Even Battler is surprised by that.** - It is also possible that they were not yet dead when they went to check the bodies, and that Genji and Shannon (and perhaps Gohda) merely restrained them and moved them somewhere else. - It gives Rosa a good reason to exclude the servants, at least. - Who committed the murders of the 4th to 6th twilights (Gohda, Shannon, George)? - Only Genji remains… What intrigues me is that BEATRICE summons a Kanon-clone… Could it have been Kanon after all? But BEATRICE proclaimed that Kanon was killed in Jessica's room, so I really don't know what to think of that. - Actually, **Battler wakes up from a nap!** So ==**Rosa could have gone out of the parlor to commit the murders and then come back!**== - Rosa wants to leave everything alone until the police come. "What will you do if our precious evidence from the crime scene gets disturbed?!!" - This is pretty odd since the police may come to the conclusion that Rosa is the killer, if she really is. But maybe she wants the police to acknowledge that everything went as BEATRICE's ritual was supposed to? - Actually, maybe ==**Rosa gave the master key to Battler to unlock the door so that she leaves no fingerprints on the doorknob!**== - She may plan to pin the blame on Genji or Battler! - Battler says: "It seemed that George-aniki had been holding the original key to Aunt Natsuhi's room. \[Aunt Rosa\] had also collected that." - But maybe, again, it only *appeared* this way to Battler. - BEATRICE says that <span style="color: ff0000">"Natsuhi's room was exactly the same, just like usual. The door and windows were locked from the inside."</span> - "From the inside" is pretty annoying… It doesn't make sense. But a door locked from the outside is the same that a door locked from the inside, isn't it? It's just… locked, I guess? - BEATRICE also says <span style="color: ff0000">"Natsuhi's own key was in George's pocket, and the inside of the room was sealed off. Only the five master keys were left, and 'Rosa' was holding all of them."</span> - So Natsuhi's key was with George. Not that it matters, since Rosa has all the master keys. Why are there quotes around 'Rosa', also? - Who committed the murders of the 7th and 8th twilights (Nanjo and Kumasawa)? - ==**Could be Rosa too, during Battler's nap.**== - How did the parlor's envelope end up there? - ==**Rosa could have set it before leaving the parlor to check Nanjo and Kumasawa's corpses.**== Pretty easy. - In a fit of rage, Battler says to Rosa: "Maybe, because you couldn't commit murder in front of Maria, you chose the roundabout way of setting a clever trap!!" - This is actually a good motive. # Who, How, and Why - Who: Rosa. - How: see above. - Why: she believed that carrying the murders in accordance with the epitaph would grant her the gold, but did not want Maria to see her do that.
