Theres A Lot You Can Learn About It, Trust Me

There’s a lot you can learn about it, trust me

idk if this guy can ever find peace :')

Considering the Dev said chapter 2 will be quite long, and it been abouuutttt 1 and a half hours of new content so far, I’d so we’ve got time for a NEW culprit and for Ace to be innocent! : D

Luckily, we can ignore the following as him just being silly;

- Easedropping Arei and David conversation, which makes him look terribly suspicious if we believe someone other than Eden wrote the note to lure Arei out (and would therefore need to have listened in to Arturo, Eden and Arei convo)

- Also to add, Ace only reveals he overheard this conversation LATE into the trial, just to annoy David. Ace is set as someone who withholds evidence.

- following, some unknown person was apparently following Eden. Ace has been set up as quite sneaky, as per the above

- Aces stole Levi sports band just so Levi couldn’t use it. This makes him stealing the tape used in his attempted murder seem more plausible- he originally could have done it out of complete spite, as an impulsive “hey look thing on the ground, mine know screw Nico”. This helps get around how bloody odd it is that either Eden or Ace would, in the few seconds able, chose to steal a role of tape.

- As one of the four people involved with Nico attempt on… his own life… Ace could have been aware of the contraption used against it, and attempted to replicate it to frame Nico. To recap, the only people who COULD understand Nico murder method are: Nico, Ace, Eden, and Terko, as they are the only people who witnessed or were involved in Nico attempt on Ace’s life.

- Ace put himself forward for guard duty, which would have given him the opportunity to mess with evidence

- He is the last confirmed person, other than David, to see Arei alive

- He has the opportunity to steal the fish at any point, but particularly he could have done it immediately after Arei and David conversation - he was in the right place after all!

Wow what a lot of red herring guys! Amazing stuff

Since I've managed to cool down from the last episode, I have to say this. Drdt excels in wonderfully written characters and their relationships, but less so when it comes to the murder mystery aspect. I found Teruko's line of reasoning incredibly weak, far fetched, and full of baseless conjecture with zero actual hard evidence. (How do you know he was trying to kill Eden? And the whole slingshot thing? Plausible at best, but where's your proof?) I'm not a fan of how his ED, literally described as his body falling apart, was only brought up once by Rose in a veeery understated way when it could potentially disprove the whole theory.

On a second watch with a less emotional approach, I can confidently say that's not just me being salty my blorbo is going to die. Still, I have trust in the dev to make his character arc satisfying with the post trial and bonus episode.

By the way, I wonder if just like with David, the author didn't expect Ace to have so many fans?

As an aside, WHY in the Lord’s good name did Nico try to murder Ace via drop hanging??? It is quite frankly such a stupid idea. Strangle him!! Cut his throat!! Anything but these insane antics with ceiling fans and brooms!!!

Nico, Ace I love you both yet you are both somehow so so god damn stupid it hurts

The cutest 🦔🌼
