#like even kinzo in his rambling marks a distinction between beatrice's revival and solving the epitaph

[pochapal]

shannon. bestie. isn't it so funny and quirky how you're the first person to explicitly state that people will die as a result of the epitaph?? what a crazy goofy coincidence!

#umineko liveblog #ep1 reread #the epitaph never indicates death as a necessity #the only other person to outright introduce this idea to people who otherwise aren't thinking it is 'beatrice' (kanon) #so the fact that shannon explicitly says 'everyone dies in the end' sure is weird and suspicious! #like even kinzo in his rambling marks a distinction between beatrice's revival and solving the epitaph #in that either beatrice revives and his family dies #or someone solves the epitaph and none of that happens #so if we don't get the solving the epitaph = murder correlation from the horse's mouth #then why exactly would shannon come to believe this? #at the same time that someone is intending to use this exact line of reasoning to push a bunch of people into killing each other??? #again. does she just Know or is she actively involved somehow #but this creates a contradiction because shannon knowing Anything makes her actions later on not make sense #unless this whole thing is a case of pushing her knowledge of what might come so deep she deliberately acts out of ignorance #could the inherent contradiction of sayo explain it all away???? i really do not know #past me was right there really is Something Up With Shannon and i cannot figure out what!!!
