Esposito tells Beckett it was generous of her to let both the guys win.

* A possible theory about the truth of Rokkenjima in ''VisualNovel/UminekoNoNakuKoroNi'' ''VisualNovel/UminekoWhenTheyCry'' is that the events are caused by two teams working independent of each other, one planning and one opportunistic. [[spoiler: The first one is the servants and one of the siblings (which one depends on the arc) led by Yasu who plans the murders (the one among the sibling and a few of the servants think it's just a game) in order to become free from his/her fate or that Battler solves the case and finds out the truth. The other one would be Kyrie who took a chance when the gold was found and is hinted to be the main culprit.]]
