There is a possibility that no one was the culprit and it was all an accident, but Ange clearly doesn't believe that to be true, otherwise there would be no reason to avoid the truth.
Ange acknowledges reality only partially.
I didn't say some level of escapism wasn't harmful, I said in most cases it isn't life-destroying. What I mean was that: the greater the pain you're trying to bury, the more harmful the escapism tend to be. In Ange's case, it's huge.
Selective self-delusion (escapism) can technically be a ''middle ground'' between Erika and Maria, but I never advocated for that. I wanted Ange to reject both of their ideologies. To acknowledge the truth but reach closure and move on with her life. Erika chased the truth but she never got to achieve closure and never moved on, that where they would be very different.
Bernkastel's red truths were never denied, all that changed was Ange's perceptions of said truth.

I intend to read the manga at some point, I keep reading that it's much better at getting the message across, like you just said. All that I've said so far has been about the VN exclusively. I'l l take all that you've said into consideration as I read it. I'll try to keep an open mind and analyze things from scratch. Maybe I'll change my mind. I'll come back here in 3 to 6 months to talk about it again. Thanks for the discussion, but I have to go to sleep now.

<see you again>
