But everyone seemed thrilled by it. "How could you not think it was dull?" They were incredulous by my reaction, and when I look back over the period between ending six and starting seven, I don't see any acknowledgment of why I reacted so unexcitedly. I even pointed out a good bit before it happened that the twist was that Kanon wasn't in the closet. It wasn't mind blowing and it was expected. It also wasn't a giant magical "how'd they do that?" because I outlined how it was done in the posts beforehand.

Kanon is Shannon is hiding in the closet is the hand the magician wants you to look at. All the while, we never really see what condition the seal was in after Erika turns back from the bed. That's where the ball or coin really is. And if it really is Natsuhi/Hideyoshi's room from Episode 1 (yay Portal window!),



Assuming the closet's right by the door, ample time and room to get in and out. Even this is possible for Kanon.


Sounds like the real problem is that you missed or ignored the key part of the puzzle.

I proclaim that the chain lock has been repaired by the duct tape seal and has regained its original functionality. And, thanks to that, I locked the room upon entering it and made this guest room a closed room from the inside once more.

Kanon can't escape from the room because the lock was still set.
