A: Episode 2 is the monster episode
K: How is it the monster episode?
A: Its the one that breaks your spirit. Its the one where you think youre in for a nice magical murder mystery, and theyre like NOPE, YOURE WRONG.
K: Didnt you say something like that about episode 1s first twilight?
A: I dont always learn my lessons the first time
A: But no, episode 2 was the one Beatrice described as like excruciating, or something like that. Extreme difficulty?
K: Yeah, its quite fascinating to reread it.
A: That reminds me of another thing. Episode 2 was the one with all the obnoxious dating scenes and I remember how last time I was like *snore* and you were like (excitedly) oh wow! Amazing!
(I wasnt THAT obvious about it, but its clear to Arria that theres more than meets the eye)

We spent some time reading the notes I made for Ep 2 and reminding her of various small things that happened. One problem is we couldnt remember where all the master keys were at specific points until there was a red truth saying Rosa had them all. Specifically, I couldnt remember where Kanons master key was after his body disappeared.

K: Okay, so lets start with Twilight 1. I think you solved the issue with the sealed envelope last time.
A: Yeah, the wax seals arent fool-proof and Rosa could feasibly understand how to remove it without breaking it and reapply it.
(Later: I realize now that we BOTH forgot about a red truth somewhere that said the key was never in anyones possession from the time it was given to Maria until the letter was opened. That said, I think Arria would be able to solve it easily now. Were told the chapel was locked by Rosa and no other evidence was ever shown suggesting she was telling the truth.)
A: Reading this part now, I have a different interpretation. (The part in question was where I wrote in the notes The seven Ushiromiya adults and Beatrice gathered in the chapel. All seven acknowledge the existence of Beatrice as a witch.)
A: I think this is just Rosa with a gun threatening everyone. There was a bar of gold here, correct?
K: Yeah, we were show at least one, possibly more, when the characters investigate the scene later
A: And that was the gold Krauss and Natsuhi knew about, right? What if they invited the family into the chapel and were going to show off the gold to gain some kind of leverage over them, but Rosa had a gun and decided fuck it and murdered them all to keep the gold.
K: Okay. So how about the Happy Halloween for Maria bit. Who did that?
A: Rosa? Maybe she was sick of Marias witch antics and wanted to scare her.
K: Do you think that Rosa would think that would work? Would Rosa think this will scare Maria or would she think this will encourage Maria.
A: I guess you have a point. Maybe it was one of the servants who didnt know Maria as well. Like, Ill use Gohda as an example, but it could be any of them maybe Gohda put it up as a warning to Rosa. He saw what she did and that message was to scare her into being compliant? A sort of dont fuck with us or your daughter is next.
K Okay
A Oh! Heres a strange thought: What if Maria herself did it? She could have the idea that Mama has to work to make money, therefore Mama cant spend time with me. But now that she has gold, her thoughts are Mama doesnt need to work anymore, therefore Mama can play with me and well have a fun Halloween party together.
K: So you think Maria herself painted the magic circle?
A: I mean, its not a strong idea, I admit, but it kinda works. Also, Im not saying that Maria committed the murders. I dont want to imagine her as Jack the Ripper Jr. over here.
