One TAOM thought that just occurred to me is how mysterious Girogio's place in Pip's sketchbook is. We only see Pip's drawings of Sousuke, Albie, Winn, and even OC. on top of that, before OC woke up. the former 3 mentioned something new pip has drawn them (A dress from a sequel, a giant cupcake, and a sword.) But Girogio mentions nothing of the sort.
(I also remember reading a post abt how weird it is that Girogio in the musical number, doesn't really sing about himself. Just vaguely abt his source material.)
all & all: is beauty sleep really the reason he always wakes up last?
Oooo now that is interesting! I did notice the page thing, thinking it was so that he could be easily seen to the viewer when the pages get turned, but now you've put it like that, I do see the possibilities. Maybe Pip is losing interest over Giorgio. What if during the second part of the song, he was genuinely being the most serious about being replaced or worse, erased? To my knowledge, visual novels don't tend to have much depth to them in terms of character and lore, which could explain why Giorgio can only mention his media more over himself. The beauty sleep could easily be his way of lying to himself that he's not being forgotten about, playing along with the conceited image that everyone has of him.
Along with it being the question of if he's really a detective or not, maybe that's why he wanted to be the one to take up the case, so he could put blame on someone else in hopes of the chances that Pip would shift focus on them to him. Though, that would require Pip to know that they come to life
I really like this theory. It really gives more depth to Girogio's character. When I get around to writing my pov fic for him, as I've done for the others, I'll probably include a lot of elements from this.
