We don't actually have any proof of the Lion-world being as Bern displays it. She shows the 'truth' of Ange's world, certainly, but when it comes to revealing Lion, she doesn't use any red. She just presents an illusion.

doesn't she say 'This is all truth--'sometime during the show.. I'm very sure of that
Not about lions world, but about ange's world. Also, there are several indicators to the truth in lions world too, i.e. lions gun wound, and the fact that will couldn't hurt bernkastel. I do suspect that some of it is made up, and it will be Bern's doom in the final game |

It's pretty clear that someone in Ange's situation would likely make some kind of interruption mid-sentence, even if it's only to try and deny it. Moreover, "this is truth" is borrowing a bit more from the Colbert Lexicon than it is confirmation of any objective facts. |

So the heartless truth is that in all cases, one or two of the adults goes gold-crazy, kills somebody, on purpose or by accident, and everything goes to hell from there. However, don't forget the heart. Battler seems damn set on showing a truth which isn't so heartless, and there's no way we've seen the last of Will and Lion. Bern may be offering no happy ending, but I doubt that'll sit well with those three. And that's mostly the plot for Episode 8, if you ask me. |

Ontop of that, the way the Japanese phrase was worded, it was basically set up so that if not interrupted, it could've possibly read "This is not really truth." The best way to phrase it in English might be "This is all truth--for this specific gameboard."

Well, that adds more credibility to it, especially since in Japanese, the "not" is usually placed at the back of the sentence.

On the other hand, "This is all truth— NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" seems to be legitimate, at least for Ange's world. EDIT: Disregard this post, as I now DO know about the original Japanese, thanks to a previous post. |

One theory i have after reading ep.7 is that the many witches of theatergoing that Bern and Lambda talk about from time to time is actually a reference to those of the readers who just sit back and let others come up whit the answer for them, just enjoying the show whit as little interference as possible.
