That Battler needed to find a proof and make the correct deduction about Kirie's motive otherwise Eva-Beatrice as part of the witch side could still win due to upholding a part of the witch's illusion. The detective needs to also work out motive with clues, hints and analysis of character. In fact Will the detective has emphasized that point more than anyone.
Basically what you are saying that Nanjo's motive is pure fantasy. No different than if he were to be controlled by a witch.
I don't know, it just feels odd to base the motive on fantasy.  |
I prefer to think that, more than based on fantasy, the motive is simply OOC, sort of like the one Bern used in the tea party where Kirye and Rudolf thought it was smart to kill everyone.
It could have been a motive we would have accepted hadn't we believed they were smarter than that.
In the same way someone who doesn't know Nanjo can accept he would lie over the people being dead or not, if offered money or that Shannon would kill everyone to get Battler's attention.
It's Battler who's supposed to figure out this is not what the REAL Shannon would do and wonder why she was given such a OOC motive.
