It's a shame how even the manga skims Tohya, Ikuko and Eva coming together to compare what happened on Rokkenjima. Because even with the best intentions, there's no way Tohya or Eva were in a mentally good space enough to not deal critical damage to one another while talking both on purpose and accident. Like I don't doubt they got stuff done but several barbs thrown along the way would have dealt lasting damage.

I love how Battler's 'incompetence', read difficulties solving the mystery, works as a doylist tool to help the readers while obscuring the solution and as a watsonian character trait reflecting his struggles acknowledging the worst in the people he knows.

The topic of Rosa's pregnancy and how early her husband dropped off the grid makes me wonder if the siblings would have stepped up to check on her. Would have any of them or their spouses offered to have her stay with them to ensure she wasn't alone when she went into labour? Would have Rosa accepted that offer even?
