Ange mentions in Dawn that the "magic" the two Beatrices do engraves their actions on the Fragment. One could imagine, then, that "a board with a player" is essentially "a story with an outcome determined by the input of a secondary contributor."

In other words, let's say the story is End, but Battler decides after solving the epitaph that he's going to bust Erika's skull in with a gold ingot and hide in Kuwadorian for the rest of the weekend. Whoever initially came up with the plot for End probably didn't anticipate this, but allows it.

Now we basically have two stories, End-Prime and End-Modified. One is the base, one is the version that's used as a gameboard. In theory, both are Fragments, independent of one another but extremely similar (in that, up to the moment where Battler and Erika find the gold, they're identical).

I submit that a murder was committed in 1996.
This murder was a "copycat" crime inspired by our tales of 1986.
This story is a redacted confession.
