So let me get this straight: Hongou didn't volunteer to write the script? What's more, she didn't even have a choice as to the movie's genre?

Maybe this is just me, but it sounds like Hongou didn't have much say at all in this matter to begin with. This is only speculation, but she might have been forced into writing the script one way or another. If you ask me, the heart of this little mystery lies in knowing the actual circumstances behind the creation of the movie. If that's the case, those minutes could be a valuable clue.

As for the movie mystery solving, it was nice to see three entirely different perspectives of looking at "mystery", even if two out of the three hypotheses were massive misinterpretations of the genre. It was interesting to see different takes on what the genre "should be".

Spoiler for theories:

Spoiler for theories: As for the theories given, I'm sure most would agree that the second one is the most acceptable since the first one is refuted by existing evidence and the third one is simply inconsistent to the genre's conventions. Although it's quite apparent that none of of them are completely correct, they provide a good starting point to launch our speculations. As for my own guess, I'd say that the window theory isn't entirely off the mark. The key points here are the rope, the window, and the severed hand. I'm still working on connecting them, which is hard if the lobby was uncrossable. The lobby being uncrossable means that nobody could have followed the victim to his room after they dispersed. __________________ "There’s an up higher than up, but at the very top, down is all there is."
