eva being compared to kinzo in that both are super absent and both are super dead. however natsuhi saying this making me think about if there's actually any evidence that she's truly aware of if kinzo is dead already or not. like how much does she Actually know.

#umineko liveblog #logic dictates that if kinzo kicked the bucket before the 1986 conference then natsuhi has to know #if only to explain her behavior vis a vis kinzo vanishing from the study #however if she didn't know the idea of her just having imaginary pep talks with kinzo on the regular is very funny to me so i'll allow it #either that or this can be read as natsuhi also knowing eva is already dead. somehow #except that line of reasoning returns to the Natsuhi Sus argument which is wrong and untrue #so idk. yet again it goes back to how the story is constructed and also the enigma of whatever's truly up with kinzo #like i still think he's probably already dead? #but all the scenes with him give me pause in how to explain them beyond 'witch narrative logic' #perhaps the answer is kinzo is dead but sometimes he's also not dead through the power of magic
