prof | Let's Play Umineko Chiru, Episode 6 Scene 7: The Birth of Beatrice

<< | ^^ | >>

Beatrice

The new witch, who was revived due to a rule.

She has not lived a thousand years, and her behavior is vastly different from how it once was.

She is a witch who doesn't even know how to use magic. However, she has no fear of magic circles of spiderwebs. It's almost as though she's just a human...

She is attached to Battler, and makes it her goal to do whatever she can for him.

George once again changes the topic by bringing it back to Erika's favorite thing on the planet.

The rest of the evening passes without major incident.

The prisoner hears the sounds of family from outside of the prison.

Anything to escape from this room. Anything to return to the others.

The door is chained. It cannot be opened.

There must be another way out. Search the room.

How about the closet?

There is one other door. It leads to the bathroom.

The bathroom is another dead end.

The only remaining path is the window.

No way out.

What kind of creepy room is this?

The prisoner smashes the window over and over again with the chair.

All that's in the way is a narrow wooden mesh. But it won't break.

No way out.

The shards of the broken window extend, lashing out at the hands trying to break through as punishment.

A rain-soaked hand clamps around the prisoner's wrist from outside.

It's the witch. It must be the hand of the witch.

Those white teeth come down on one of the prisoner's fingers.

Probably just her imagination. This old mansion makes a lot of weird sounds at night.

All that's in this hallway is guest rooms, after all. No need for those, now that there's a guest house.

Erika's going to be pretty disappointed if there's no murders by tomorrow morning.

Until then, the cousins all head over to the guest house, as the adults begin their adult conversations.

She knows, of course, but last time they just walked past the portrait. Where's the fun in that?

There was an accident just after the portrait went up, and a servant was badly injured. Of course, the ghost stories extend way back before the portrait was put up.

Erika goes ahead and dares Beatrice to curse her, if she can.

Technically, the Knox rules don't forbid the detective also being the victim, but it WOULD get in the way of the investigation.

Without a doubt, it's a picture of her.

However, Beato can tell just by looking that she still isn't the same person as this witch.

She already finished reading the first four games. She can't understand the witch that appeared in them at all.

Spiderwebs and scorpion charms don't repel her. Is that proof that she isn't really Beatrice?

The portrait ripples when she touches it.

After all, this is no mere portrait.

Beato disappears into her own portrait.

She can't remain as she is, though. She needs to hatch out of her coccoon, and become the butterfly named Beatrice.

The seal melts, and light fills the world of Beatrice.

Beato is born.

However, not only Beato is born. A second Beatrice also comes forth from the coccoon.

Both of them understand at once: Together, they can become the true Beatrice.
