If it was Rudolf and Kyrie, Battler might have been there as their accomplice! As per Bern's game. I suppose the same could go for Eva and Hideyoshi bringing George, maybe even for Natsuhi and Krauss with Jessica.

Though the tea party didn't play that way, besides, we know Battler never killed anybody (well, we sort of know).
I am rereading the first novel, and apart from laughing at all the "Rosa is the purest of the siblings" (and yet the only real bad parent among them) irony, and noticing how the siblings probably didn't actually think the gold was real and just wanted to blackmail Krauss into admitting his fault or paying them (though this seems less certain), I have been looking to see if Jessica actually knew that Kinzo was dead. If she did then she plays it rather cool, yet sort of implies he is alive. However I seem to remember a convenient asthma attack that occurs later....
