The way the characters acted in that tea scene diminishes the horror and sympathy we should feel of the deaths that have occurred and most definitely diminishes it for the deaths to come. I feel it cheapens the value of the tragedies we're suppose to see.
You got it wrong. Umineko main point is not tragedy, this is not Higurashi.

Umineko's main point is mystery vs fantasy. The stuff revealed in the tea party is Umineko main point.
