Get around what? These aren't even issues...
  • Kakera Theory does not mean infinite worlds in the first place. And even if it did, what AT said.
  • Kakera Theory in no way invalidates survivorship. In the context of their Kakera, they suffer and struggle just the same. Thematically, this was brought up in Higurashi Rei.
  • Kakera Theory works with Author Theory because thematically the stories are presented as Kakera themselves created and shown to us by Featherine.
  • As for the "muddy" scenes, the reason that multiple metaphysical interpretations are valid in the first place is because Ryuukishi07 has deliberately presented us a "muddy" narrative.
