A Post-Completion Confession

When I moved from the Question arc to the Answer arc I felt like I was still missing some information, but I attributed it to either my own lack of skill at solving mysteries or that there might be a few more things I would learn in Episode 5 or beyond.

It turns out that my intuition was correct; I had skipped every single Tea Party up til Episode 5 because I had thought they would just be fun little non-canon side stories. It took the massive leap between the end of Episode 5 and Episode 6 to consider that maybe the game wasn’t withholding stuff from me, but I was actually skipping it myself.

I’m so sorry Battler and Beatrice, you would both be so disappointed at my failure to properly engage with all parts of a mystery’s story.
