This is the rational conclusion anyone would come to if they read Reiwa

I don't Believe Satoko is the culprit but simply the accomplice to the culprit. Notice how in the first loop she simply blames the curse fornthe murders despite knowing at that point that it isn't real and was down by people. She cannot believe Keiichi and Mion are dead, almost as if it was simply not possible for them to die and it drives her to delusions. In the second loop Rika warns Keiichi and this time Keiichi foregos going to the village for the festival and this ends with Kimiyoshi and his assistant dying and with a smug relaxed Satoko not caring at all about kimiyoshis disappearance. And in the last loop Rika warns Kimiyoshi this time in private and Satoko umbenowst to this still have that smug attitude as if everything is going to plan, only this time instead of Kimiyoshi and his assistant getting killed it's Rika and Kimiyoshi disappearing. And unlike in the original loop, Satoko doesn't blame a curse or becomes delusional all we see is her she'd tears for Rika.

Shipping aside I genuinely believe Keiichi and Satoko are working together to get rid of Kimiyoshi, Why? Well all you have to do is look at Sakiko and her bio to realize what I'm getting at. As for why Keiichi and Mion were killed in the original loop instead of Kimiyoshi is easy to explain, Kimiyoshi is no idiot and when it comes to protecting his family, even if his wife wants him dead, he will do whatever it takes. He got rid of Keiichi for trying to take away his family and Mion for supporting Polaris, the biggest threats to his familiy are gone and he won't have to worry about his daughter getting taken away from him anymore. It's fairly obvious Kimiyoshi has a deep dislike for Keiichi and becomes visibly frustrated when his father tells him to ask Keiichi to use his influence to make the village a world heritage site.

Aside from that if my theory is correct, Keitarou image of his father will shatter just like ours will. And we will be forced to wonder how did the man who would never betray his friends come to form a plan like this and why would he do it? That is the question we will be left with as we read.
