But seriously, I found a lot of hints of characterization myself from the narration. Try not to throw away this game. If only for the subtle hints placed. Spoiler for Like this for example:

I've gone through the first 20 pages of this thread, and skimmed through the rest, and I must say it does feel pretty darn good to be somewhat caught up, if only for a few days.

She's almost on par with Erika at every turn. She's the one who trapped Natsuhi in the "Who was the last one to see Kinzo" trick, was described as willing to give up her compassion in a situation if needed, told Erika at one point to stop playing detective (and made a pretty snarky mark at her). I don't know why but I just had an odd feeling about her the entire episode. |

Eva is also suspicious as well, but at the same time its more of typical Eva behavior, with her receipts and what not. |

Generally speaking a lot of the adults are acting really odd the entire Ep5. In fact, doesn't anyone find it odd that the adults still treat her cooly after
Spoiler for Ep5 Spoilers:
The only person who seems to have a divergent idea of Erika was piece-Battler, and in fact it's only piece-Battler seems in-character.

Do you guys have any idea what kind of dirty trick was played in episode 5?
-It's got to be something almost none of the readers would notice -Battler, Erika, and Bern didn't notice it (This implies that Lambdadelta does know about it or at least noticed it) Regarding the level of control of pieces on the board, what about the narration? There are scenes where we are shown the inner thoughts of Battler. Since Battler wasn't a player was it Lambdadelta who created this narration?

I disagree about the pieces. Natsuhi also has a very bad opinion of Erika throughout the entire game and as I mentioned before Kyrie even told her quite sternly to stop playing detective so that she could come with them to the parlor with Hideyoshi's corpse. And most times they pretty much ignored her unless she was playing detective. I see it the same with Piece-Battler in the previous games. Everyone always listened intently to him and what he said. This is probably because he's the detective and now Erika is in the same place as he is. Quote:
Still the narration became VERY odd near the ending, when Natsuhi's motive started to be explained. It didn't sound like Lambda, Battler or anyone on the gameboard narrating it for that matter. And then Beatrice mentioned somebody with the courage to continue a fight. I'm thinking a new character may appear in EP 6 that may play as an observer role. |

Kyrie mentioned in EP 4 that everyone had past suspicions about it beforehand. It wasn't just her who suspected he was already dead - she was the only one who was vocal about it. We don't know for sure if Eva spread the word about Hideyoshi's suspicions either, since they all met together in Ginza after the conversations we saw between the couples (Eva + Hideyoshi, Kyrie + Rudolf and then Rosa talking to Rudolf over the phone). Besides Hideyoshi talked to Eva about that before the conference of 1986, so Lambda or whoever couldn't have manipulated him to say that.
As for Hideyoshi in the guest room, it could be coincidental that he was in there. I think he expected it to be locked because pretty much every room is locked up usually in the house. He went in there just to be alone it seems. Still I do see your point. Also: Quote:
Spoiler for Cap of what I was talking about:
She might mean Battler, but I'm not sure of it completely considering how formally she addresses the person and the way she describes it. |

Maybe the reason Natsuhi rushed out of the parlor (?) in ep 1 was because she went to go find/kill her "son". |

As such, the man of 19 years ago has to be taken into account as a factor in Natsuhi's actions for all games. The bigger question is this factor affects the game so much that, despite having most of the influence on Natsuhi, Natsuhi's survival is not constant in ALL the games. She is the first adult to be focused upon in more than 2 games, yet despite the the influence of the mystery man she still dies fairly early in others.
