Hmmmm.

Well Beato was always a scapegoat anyway. No big deal.

> I was under the mistaken impression that Beatrice was a scapegoat.
But that's not a mistaken impression. Beatrice IS a scapegoat.

Of course, there's always the possibility that "Beatrice" is both the culprit AND a scapegoat. Fuck yeah Doubletrice.

Meta Beatrice, brah.

> implying Beatrice is the culprit

Well yeah, Meta Beatrice was originally made up of at least two distinct Beatrices. One of those was the one who was created to love Battler by someone on the gameboard; the other(s), whether one or more, are currently unknown. If it's only two, then the other one is the embodiment of the legend of the witch.

In my opinion, Meta Beatrice isn't the embodiment of a scapegoat, but took on that role willingly. Remember Maria's conversation with Ange from Episode 4?

...Though I guess being a scapegoat could be her true role after all, when you consider how the person she was named after, the Beatrice of Dante's Inferno, was a person who took others' sins onto herself.

Oh you.

I'm surprised so many people still seem to think that Beatrice is the culprit, despite all the hints indicating that she's acting as a scapegoat and taking others' sins onto herself. The hints started in Episode 3 (pic related), continued in Episode 4 (see: Maria's story about being a scapegoat), and were reinforced even more in Episode 5 (I shouldn't even need to state what scenes did so).

>>4303101
And there's another difference: Beatrice isn't the culprit.

>>4295650
And Ronove explicitly pointed that out in Episode 3. Not that anyone paid attention to it at the time.

>>4293647
Yeah, Beatrice acts as a scapegoat.

> Read episode 5. Beatrice is doing the murders out of love.
Except the red text used by Virgilia could also imply that Beatrice is not the culprit/a culprit, or at least isn't the mastermind. In fact, there are multiple hints throughout the VN that support the idea that Beatrice was making herself into a scapegoat. Pic related. (There's also Maria's little talk with Ange in Episode 4.)

Except the creator of Beatrice specifically stated that they created Beatrice so that they could achieve happiness on their own, without having to wait for Battler. They used Beatrice as a sacrifice, in a sense.
