Oh yeah, it's in my map:

Father and I can guarantee that." She revisits the thought again, George defends her, then she lets her off the hook.
- Kanon is Rosa's favorite scapegoat. But Battler remembers Gohda explaining that Kanon gave his master key to Jessica to open the guest room. Upon request, Nanjo finds it on her body.
Damn, I think you got me there. The only way she could still be innocent is if she misunderstood the muffled voice behind the door. But then again, I doubt she would confuse that voice of his. **sigh**

But I can't dismiss her vomiting on the floor like that (go ahead, argue it's fantasy). Maybe she's partially guilty, partially innocent. This is screwed up.

In any case, even if she isn't fully innocent, she can still be innocent of the first six murders. I need to go over this a bit more...

I can argue that perhaps she didn't actually see a cloud of golden butterflies. A toss of glitter? Smoke bomb? Or perhaps an ace-up-the-sleeve exchange?

In any case, with all of the child abuse going on, I doubt Rosa would want Maria believing in this witchcraft. And yet, she reports at the table that she saw Beatrice, and she's freaked out? This doesn't add up well.
