I used recent keys to get go through two more exposition-heavy endings to unlock two more keys that involved solo-conversations with Nos and Kanzo.

In the scenes with Nos, the diaries revealed that the feasts were created by Kami to keep Yasumizu in check, and it wasn't until 60 years ago that they included deadlier, "supernatural" elements that were allegedly creations by Kami. The fact that the mists entered Nos' mansion and caused them to lose consciousness, and eventually die, lends credence to the theories presented during this time. Of course, this doesn't explain possession, the giant monster, and time-looping, so not everything will have a "logical" explanation.

What actually interested me the most was the reference of brief serial killings about 60 years ago. Someone confessed to the crimes and was executed, but it seemed disingenuous. I was half-joking about my serial killer line way back in the police station in the second route, but if a past serial killer actually has any bearing on the events of this, it seems like Tom could be a serial killer. He knows how to use a blade as he got the drop on Kamo in killing him in the first route. In subsequent routes, he tried to hold off on his hanging but was punched out by Kanzo. I don't know if there's a supernatural element to Tom or his potential serial killings and any correlation between that and the changes to the feasts.

It was also mentioned in the Kanzo discussion that the two previous feasts ended with only one wolf being discovered. I don't know if that suggests that Kami wanted specific people to be gone or were seeking some other criteria, or if let's call it a third party tampered with the game.

I'm not really concerned/interested in the topics discussed in these endings. I can go into more detail later, but while I am a fan of "realistic" explanations for bizarre, seemingly supernatural happenings, the way they went about it in this was lazy and clumsy at best, resorting to a random fussy set of scenes late in the game that only strengthened the value of show-not-tell (something that has been in short supply).

My next option is to choose not to enter the outhouse when the mists first came in the first route and to look for "him." I'm assuming him is referring to Tom and we will be discussing potential serial killings/his feast history/stuff like that. Maybe he's the dreamer somehow, I don't know. I will find out next time.
