You're an insensitive bastard Kealym, you should do like the usual main character of anime do and eat it all even if it will give you stomach cramps later.
"Look, I bought you a cooking book to thank you for your gift. WHY ARE YOU CRY(ING."

I think you misunderstood my response. To borrow the words of others, the murders are the means, not the end. There's no specific reason to kill Godha, outside of perhaps the narrative convenience that also covers all the other victims.

Firstly, Krauss is declared missing in a different way. Mid-game, in a game that for us definitely WAS stopped short, and was not described as being chewed apart by demons in Hell, which seems to be the soft (..?) language for "exploded explosively".

Secondly, while I won't deny the possibility of Jessica being murdered (EP4 does have everyone being murdered, epitaph be damned), it just reads as really odd to me. I guess it doesn't change all that much either way, though.

Well, keeping in mind that the rules of the Meta are pretty inconsistent, at that specific time the reasoning was "You must make that claim objectively. ... You require concrete proof that Kyrie changed her mind." The 'ad infinitum' problem was avoided quickly by stumbling upon a motive that couldn't be refuted, presumably because it was true. It was weird, though - I'd call it tonge-in-cheek even if it went farther, since the Van Dine list explicitly calls that solution cliche and "a confession of the author's ineptitude and lack of originality."

Also, the witch side DOES seem able to change certain parameters - I mean, it's your story, noone can stop you writing it the way you want. Battler isn't the culprit, this can be said of all games" totally doesn't stop Evil Battler from rippin' it up later on.

...that quote did NOT come from the same man who wrote Requiem. I mean it just can not have.
