Then the Chiesters kill people but I missed who exactly.
K: Who died just now?
A: In order, it was Kanon shot through stomach or chest. Shannon through the temples and Nanjo through the forehead.
K: And whats Krauss doing? Being dead?
A: Oh yeah, he died on the way in. I dont recall if it said how or where. *rechecks* Back of the head.
K: Okay.

Finally reading again, and the same thought as last time comes across a month later. I remember way before the Yasu thing that Kanon had escaped or was culprit or something, but, between the questions ...

I think I just solved Episode 4. Holy ****, how did it take me this long? Episode 4's culprit is Beatrice. Well, Kyrie-trice. Like Eva took the handle of Beatrice in Episode 3 (unless that was Kyrie too?) for solving the epitaph, if Kyrie solved the epitaph, that explains why Kyrie's pulling the elaborate stunts, why Shannon is found dead (iirc, think there were no shenanigans other than Kanon was missing, but if Shannon's body is dead he is dead), and why Beatrice is so concerned with breaking Battler over who is mother is. Of course, she is also hopped up on the white horse thing of Yasu's, but that could just be mocking Rudolf and his son's inheritance of breaking hearts and leaving women dying inside for the men that give them some hope and then ignore them for eternity. It's also why Beatrice is so despondent and drunk at the end, as well as visible to Battler yet out of good sight. Getting despairingly drunk seems out of character for Yasu, but seems like a fine idea for Kyrie.

This also parallels strongly with Asumu's side of Ange's story. It's not just that Kyrie is the new confidant like Eva in 1, Rosa in 2, Natsuhi in 3 (which Eva disrupted). If Kyrie was both the confidant AND inheritor by finding the gold, helps explain why there really were no games or attention to the epitaph, and why everything ramped up so quickly.

Of course, this is just rambling off what comes to mind without a fully formed theory before I continue reading.

But seriously, remembering that Shannon was pretty much facedown in the mud, and knowing about Yasu, she really shouldn't have been the one in the dress at the very end. Maybe the one firing her shotgun at the wall while talking to her son over the phone.

Arria considers that Kinzo has been acting a little different in each episodes, if he appears at all.

Perhaps Kinzo in each episode is also a representation of each confidant's thoughts on him. Episode 1 was a cold, crazy SOB from Eva. Kinzo in 2 was hot and cold like Rosa. I don't remember Kinzo in 3 well enough. Kinzo in 4 is bat**** crazy, which Kyrie probably saw him as (especially compared to her awful family who seem much more strict on being crazy evil wealthy mafia).

Onto Page 2!
