Actually, Eva's lifespan was very clearly shortened by the whole thing. She might have not died directly, but whether it was heart disease or any other cause, she died at least ten years earlier than she should have - when she was no older than 70.

That would certainly be poetic, but I suspect lingering consequences of the head trauma. Stroke or aneurysm or something in that, ahem, vein.

Battler has to have known her for at least 12 years of his life though. She can still die that way. It'd just be weird if she died a year before he was born.

That's exactly it. She never escaped at all.

What, 13 years later? I don't know, I always got the impression that Battler was somehow responsible.

No, I mean that she fell off the same cliff in 1980 that she fell off back in 1967.

[LyricalAura]

I'd just like to point out that Asumu being Beatrice-2 would make it kind of hard for her to hook up with Rudolf in college.

Why?

Rudolf would have been college-age in 1967. Furthermore, this theory assumes that Kinzo gave Beatrice-2 to Rudolf, after he impregnated her.

[Oliver]

Kinzo would essentially have to set up an identity for Asumu for this to work anyway, and why couldn't identity include college.

Kyrie said she kept tabs on Asumu in college. It would be difficult for Asumu to get admitted in the case that she'd been locked in an isolated mansion for 19 years instead of going to school.

Ok, knock her over, she falls and hits the already weak point in her skull on a corner of the table and dies from a fall fall which would only heave a normal person with a headache. Easy.

I would just like to say that assuming she did go to college it's probably about the same as a trip to Niijima for Jessica. But then the existence of Beatrice in that mansion isn't really a big secret and part of that conversation with Rosa is a lie. After all they never said "A conversation like that between her and Rosa really happened" in red.

Home education. The scene from 1967 is actually from soon after the fall, where the visible damage is healed and hidden by her bun, but Beatrice-2 is still acting like an amnesiac. Rudolf is actually correct about his original estimate of 20 years because he knows something.

Oh, look at all of Kinzo's money.

Huh. No wonder Battler doesn't want to remember six years ago, if that's true.

Between Beatrice-2 and Kinzo, yes. Not Beatrice-2 and Rosa. People often make this mistake.

There's no evidence that Rosa ever found Kuwadorian at all.

[Jan-Poo]

Rudolf would have been college-age in 1967. Furthermore, this theory assumes that Kinzo gave Beatrice-2 to Rudolf, after he impregnated her.

I'm not really sure about that Kaisos.

Kyrie's claim that her hell lasted 18 years implies that there's at least 6 years of hell before Asumu married Rudolf.

In 1968 Asumu Rudolf and Kyrie had been knowing each other for 6 years.

From kyrie's talks we know that at the time they met Rudolf was sleeping with several women, so he certainly wasn't a kid.

I still want Rudolf (or Krauss) to be the father. Rudolf can't know all of this is going on and not be Jessica's father. Breaking it to her that her father is Rudolf might be kind of cool even if her real parents adopted her. Kinzo being the father is just creepy and it doesn't have to be Kinzo for him to give her to him. Especially if his experiment failed.

1. Actually, one does not necessarily follow from the other.
2. Rosa's story may actually be half bunk, with Beatrice-2 playing with the nice kid that showed up who obviously thinks Beatrice-2 is a witch. If the conversation that is seen in red with Kinzo putting the moves on her occurs soon after the fall when she is recovering, she simply does not remember what her life really was like.

Oliver what's the relation between my quote and your answer? I don't see any...

why do 6 years and 12 years keep popping up?

• Battler's sin was 6 years ago
• Kyrie and Rudolf knew Asumu for 6 years in 1968
• Asumu died 6 years before 1986
• Ange is 6 years old in 1986
• Battler knew Asumu for 12 years
• Everyone died in an accident 12 years ago

She's talking about Battler's existence.

Rudolf has probably been sleeping around since he was in high school. Furthermore, he probably would have been in his 20s in 1967... I wouldn't call that a 'kid'.

It's called a "theme".

Actually, a relaxed variant of the theory is possible, in which Rudolf is the father of both babies, but Asumu is still Kinzo's idea, an attempt to breed Beatrice with the child he thinks inherits his blood the strongest, since he's worried Beatrice-2 won't last long after the fall. The rest of the logic remains the same.

What we think we know about Beatrice-2's life being supremely sheltered is not necessarily true. It is quite possible for her to even go to college and live in Kuwadorian, if the scene from 1967 that is confirmed in red occurs soon after she fell from the cliff and (temporarily) lost much of her memory. This does not even contradict Rosa's story if Beatrice-2 decided that she's going to play with the nice Rosa who showed up and pretend to be a hidden princess.

No she's not talking about Battler's existence. You see her hell ended after 18 years. And moreover Rosa without everyone telling her anything she also says that Kyrie's hell lasted 18 years. This is not some obscure secret we are talking about. That hell ended when Asumu died and Kyrie married Rudolf, and that means it started in 1962.

In 1962 Rudolf must have been already in college, because absolutely nothing suggests that Kyrie attended high school in niijima as Rudolf certainly did.

And where I was talking about Beatrice-2? I was talking about Kyrie.
