I've also tried to focus on how the culprit works without trying to focus on a person in general. So far, the killer knows Maria and has played with her for some time. We know this because she was accepted into the alliance of witches in her own diary, written out of Maria's handwriting. This handwriting matches the letters sent out on October 3rd (returned days later via wrong address) related to money sent to survivors of the incident (people outside the island). The writing style also matches the writing style on the notes in bottles.

The culprit asks the family to solve the epitath, but gets or loses anything from doing it. The culprit kills because Battler returned. The culprit "keeps promises, unlike some" (if you want to refer Beatrice to the killer).

Questions that come to mind: Why give out money to people outside the island? "Sorry" money or perhaps a deal? If we're right to assume the promise was between Shannon and Battler and Shannon is the culprit, why is she killing everyone because Battler didn't return the way he promised he would? Killing over that makes no logical sense period. Also, if the letters were sent out to survivors, then they knew Ange, who was only recently sick, couldn't make it. So whoever knew Ange wouldn't make it for a long period of time could've sent the letter (Servants, those who normally live on Rokkenjima, Rudolf, Kyrie, and Battler). Do the magic circles that come up years before the conferences in front of Gohda have any relation?
