So, we're on the second day... and six people are dead. Rosa, Jessica, George and Maria were found in the grandchildren's room in the guest house, with a deep cut across their throat that leaves no doubt as to their death. Genji was found with similar wounds in a servant room in the mansion, and Hideyoshi's corpse was laid in a guest room of the mansion with a stake in his back disqualifying the eventuality of suicide.
According to the narration, all the remaining living people on the island have gathered in the parlor room. All of them but one have been shown not to have committed murder. And the culprit is among them.
(Since this is not written in red, excuse me if I take this with a grain of salt.)
Everyone stands around pointing finger at a single person, particularly Eva (who lost her two closest family members). The conclusion seems obvious...
"You are the culprit, Ushiromiya Natsuhi-san !"
No, my surprise doesn't come from Natsuhi's presumed culpability. While I strongly doubt it's the full truth (and she of course denies it), it's far from unbelievable.
No, the problem is that this last line was uttered by a blue-haired girl we've never seen before

Cue the new OP. As always, it's impressive how dynamic and nice-looking it is considering that it's mostly a set of sprites moving around (though it cheats by having bits of CG animation for the sea and a golden butterfly). We see all the various characters already introduced, including a few ominous shots of our new mystery girl.
Okay, THAT was unexpected. I'd heard of it, as previously mentioned, but it's still as shocking. Who the — is that girl, and what is she doing in this private family reunion ? And how come she has the authority to wave such accusations around ? I await the explanation with trepidation...
