In case anyone was in any doubt that George is involved in the fake murder ceremony, he has a secret conversation with Kumasawa at the start of ep1... for no apparent reason. I guess Natsuhi and Rosa both have little points at which they "talk to Kinzo", after which stuff begins to happen... so perhaps they're told their "role" in this ceremony? If some of them don't realise things have gone wrong and are still playing their roles, this means there could be dramatically different "noise" each time, even if the setup is the same.
The point at which the penny drops is different in each episode:
- In episode 1, Natsuhi realises things have gone wrong when Kinzo's body turns up in the boiler, and Kanon is "stabbed". The boiler thing wasn't planned, so she decides to take everyone up and try to defend them.
- In episode 2, Rosa realises things have gone wrong when Battler pulls the stake out of Shannon's head. Thus she decides to make a run for it.
- In episode 3, Eva realises things have gone wrong when Jessica pulls the stakes out of Natsuhi and Krauss. It's possible that she was actually helping to fake the ceremony (which is why an Eva culprit theory seems to fit so well for much of the episode).
- In episode 4... it's basically impossible to say.
As part of this theory, I would say that the guns wielded by the adults all fire blanks (hence Jessica's blinding). It's meant to be a sortof "Bang bang, you're dead" type game, and they don't want any fatalities caused by people not realising what's going on. Thus adults with guns can be attacked and killed without difficulty.
