Huh... that's interesting,. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go online for a few days, and now that I finally can, it seems that the EPX battle has already started for a few days without me.

As for the "trade", I can't say I understand it completely, so I won't vote just yet. I am leaning more on the side of calling off the trade, though.

Spoiler for First Impressions:

Yeah, I don't have much of a substantial theory yet, but I do have some random thoughts I want to bring up;

-Again, (I think this was implied before) some of the 'corpses' may not be dead, even if their faces were perfectly intact. It is possible to fake your death, by simply standing/lying there, closing your eyes, and not moving, or breathing noticeably. To tell the truth, Krauss (and Kinzo)'s deaths seem kind of suspicious, especially now that we know that Kinzo was not in fact shot (I suppose the red text implies that Kinzo is 100% dead, so I won't go on about that theory.) Blood can easily be faked (either the blood is taken from another human/creature, or is something that just looks like blood).

I think it's likely that the blood was fake, mostly because of the fact that all the 'blood' had disappeared when the siblings returned to Kinzo's room. Krauss could have been lying, perfectly alive, on the floor as the other siblings walked into the room, surrounded by various substances that resembled blood, and then, as the siblings left, he could have tidied up the fake 'blood', and disposed of Kinzo's body. Thirty minutes had passed from when the group found the 'dead' Krauss and Kinzo to when the group returned to the room, and found out that they disappeared. It's somewhat hard to tidily clean up a pool of real blood in less than half an hour. Remember, the murderer also had to dispose of Kinzo's body, get away, and all that.

Of course, the servants could have faked their deaths as well. I'm suspecting Kumasawa and Gohda, as even if they had been stabbed by the fruit knife, it would unlikely that either of them would die. (Being stabbed in the neck, chest or stomach- potientally damaged internal organs. Being stabbd in the knee or foot - Might lose blood. Probably possible to die just of blood loss, but possible to live through, as well.)

-I'm pretty sure, in this episode, Maria is not the crazy occult-fanatic she is the real story. She doesn't seem to be as creepy and Beatrice-loving as her canon self is, at least. And of course, Rosa 'loves' Maria, which may imply that Maria is as 'eccentric' (in Rosa's eyes, at least).

-Nanjo might be an accomplice, just because of his status and training. He probably has knowledge on drugs and such. He would probably also be useful in murdering the victims themselves. As actually killing a person by hanging/shooting/stabbing with fruit knives is quite messy and difficult to perform, the people were more or less obviously killed by other methods, and then made to look like they were hanged/shot/stabbed with fruit knives. Nanjo, with his medical knowledge, could easily help with this.

For some reason, my intuition is suspecting Eva. Of course, if she is the 'culprit', it seems likely that she prepared only the first twillight, and all the others were performed by someone else. Of course, I have no evidence, so meh.

I kind of wish I could ask Nadeor to recite some in red right now. Ah well.
