Hmmm....Ryukishi and his tricks....
Hgurashi's first arc was the most stand alone arc possible, as it has a very confined plot and all. However take it in with the rest of the series. It sets up what will happen for the rest of the question arcs...but doesn't setup the actual plot for the series. At that early stage, the aftermath...even the most critical murder of the plot, wasn't even hinted.
Could Umineko be following this line of storytelling? The first arc sets up that there are many murders on this island and that no one survives. But is that the actual plot? Is that even what is really important in the plot? If what we get in Episode I is actually a recreation of the letter's account of what happened...it could be entirely false...especially if it was written before the events happened. It might have been an accounting of what was suppose to happen.
As mentioned....Episode I has no Red Text. It could all be a lie...by Beatrice's rules.
