We wonder if this discussion about the magic circle and the bible is accurate. Neither of us are very religious, so I can’t say for sure. We look up the bible verse and it’s some stuff about servants and sacrifices. She now suspects Kanon.

She mentions the music here being awesome and creepy (It’s Fishy Aroma), so I played the lyrical version for her. Since it’s Japanese, she didn’t really get any of the meaning of things like red text and blue text or blade and barrier.

She said that maybe Beatrice trapped them on the island with the storm and then decided to let them fuck around and kill on their own. She compared it to an episode of the Twilight Zone, or Under the Dome.

“I’m gonna laugh if we’ve been dissecting this scientifically this whole time and it actually is magic. Well fuck all that thinking and logic!”

She thinks that Maria is possessed. “Maybe even possessed by something that has nothing to do with this bullshit. ‘Your dad is actually Satan. That’s why we don’t talk about it.’”

There’s a strange scene between Genji, Kanon, and Kumasawa. Kanon says he was sad to see Shannon’s body in such a state. At first I thought this was a false scene, but then Battler showed up and said he’d heard everything thus far. So why did Kanon say it at all? I’m not entirely sure I understood the deeper meaning. Was Kumasawa not aware of the plots going on? Maybe Kanon said it for her.

The servants pretend they can see Beatrice behind Battler. Arria wonders why Kumasawa is in on it. “She doesn’t wear the bird, does she?” “No, but she’s a silly old woman. She likes to tell spooky stories and play along. Remember on the boat?” “Okay, I get your point.” Later… “There’s going to be something terrifying behind him.” Then Maria appears… “I wasn’t wrong.”

Then Battler argues against Maria. A: “I don’t know if you’re particularly stupid, or particularly smart.”

“Please kill her. Beatrice, murderer, random island hobo, someone kill this freaky brat!”

Then the discussion of Maria’s dual personality comes up and the cousins talk about how kids acts. It gets into talking about chuunibyou (the game doesn’t use those exact words, but Arria and I talked about what a chuuni was). We were both chuuni to a degree in middle/high school… and we still kinda are as adults. I mean, we probably wouldn’t watch anime or play the games we do if we weren't a little bit chuuni.

“This whole house is one big ‘nod and grin’” as they say no one actually believes in Beatrice, but we pretend for the sake of Grandfather.

“That’s an oddly specific denial.” When Genji specifies there are no hidden passageways/hidden doors in Kinzo’s study. “In mystery novels, you sometimes need oddly specific details.” “We have no hidden doors in Grandfather’s room. However, there is a hidden door in the basement and in the third floor parlor room! We keep the dog in that one, though.’”

Nighteyes (I think? Some of these songs sound similar to me) starts to play when things get crazy and there’s a cut-in scene. Looks pretty cool. “Dear God…” was all Arria said, though she startled backward a bit.
