Talk:A Study in the Dubious Meiho-sou/@comment-30314236-20190515231527

Okay, to summarize a bit. We're in the middle of a small Singularity, trying to clear it by making a movie based on Murasaki's script. The characters present in the first day are Servants interpreting their role within the movie. To note that the new Servant doesn't remember his name and goes with the one of his character.

The movie tells the story of how a small kingdom fell and a republic was born, with Miguel (Moriarty) achieving a high rank in the new regimen. 10 years later, Miguel has died and his widow Gabriella (Murasaki) is holding a party in which a few people are present. Some people are old acquaintances of Miguel, while other people seem to be kind of out of place. At certain point, when Murasaki is welcoming her guests, she falls, presumably being dead.

I've checked the Reddit translations, btw.

It's still early to make some theories, since we still don't know how Gabriella was murdered (if she's actually dead). Gotta wait for an autopsy or something like that, but since there was no visible mortal injury pointed out by anyone and the way she collapsed, it's probably poison. If it wa spoison, we have to get how she took it. If it was by drinking the wine, there's the possibility that she wasn't the assassination target since, according to the translations, she just happened to take the glass that was left. But I'm being too hasty, better wait for the next chapters.

Also, we already now that Vargas and Garcia lied about who they are. They presented themselves as hunters, but they are actually a member of the former crown and his assistant, according to Moriarty's exposition about the characters.
