Image from the 2006 BBC Adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Hogfather. Death, having taken the role of Hogfather upon himself due to the fat man's disappearance, sets out to deliver presents to the good children of Discworld with his assistant Albert.
Twas the night before Hogswatch, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, but a skeletal mouse. We take a visit to the miraculous universe of Discworld with Hogfather, and learn the true meaning of holidays, and how the little oddities of life elevate it.

Humans. Are you even trying? You blunder the simplest boards. If it wasn't for me nee-, ahem. Well, go ahead and review, i suppose Even your little "godcast" doesn't add much, to my eyes. Shall we be continuing this forever?

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, console version. Beatrice, having withstood the onslaught of EVA, smiles satisfied at her good deeds.
Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Manga version. After Battler is saved from unintentionally surrendering to the witch, Beato goes through a number of expressions, ending on one of sorrow, before leaning down to speak directly to Battler's face.
The tearstained letter reads:
A witch's tears mean many things. Joy. Sorrow. Trickery. When witches clash, it becomes murky. She beckons to you with a crying face. A wrong step guarantees loss, so decide now. But never stop thinking, or-" the rest is blurred.

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Console Version. The corpses of Hideyoshi, Rudolf, and Kyrie are found in the entry hall.
Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Console Version. Chiester 45 and Chiester 410 lock hands to summon a golden bow with which to carry out the murders of Beatrice's ceremony.
Our new witch player takes her first move and has decided to add stratego pieces to the board? No, this isn't right. A witch may torment and befuddle, but they can't decide to play a new game. What is EVA doing? And where did the f---ing rabbits come from!?

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Console Version. After solving the riddle of the Epitaph, Eva's other self ascends to the title of Beatrice as furniture and Witches cheer her on.
Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, console version. Rosa and Maria are killed in the rose garden...
It's Graduation Day, but it seems that we still aren't any closer to solving the mystery? That's ok, someone else is - Eva has put together an answer to the epitaph, and in response, she ascends! A pawn promoted to a queen, but what does it all mean? #backlogdialogues #umineko #whentheycry

We have reached our final course, with a special guest lecturer! Virgilia is here to show us that the world of magic is much deeper, and wilder, than we ever expected. But how will learning about magic help us in our Mystery curriculum?

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Console version. A woman named Beatrice shares tea in the garden of a hidden mansion on Rokkenjima with Rosa.
Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Manga Volume 1. A young Rosa finds the corpse of the Beatrice she met in the hidden mansion after falling from a coastal cliff.
When we say history repeats, what you should take from that is to look to the past, so that you can avoid the same mistakes in the future. Rosa must learn that her actions have consequences. But it's not like the woman she let fall would come back. Would she?

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Console Version. A young Eva argues with her older brother Krauss over her role in the Ushiromiya family.
Image from Umineko When They Cry - Banquet of the Golden Witch, Console Version. Eva watches in frustration as Krauss tends to their father, Kinzo as he goes in to a coughing fit after berating both of them.
Welcome to the new semester. Remedial Mystery courses don't seem to have helped so far, so let's try a different angle. We start by looking at another significant piece from this tale. Eva has a lot hidden inside, so this week we'll peek behind that veil.

Image from the opening to the anime Migi and Dali. Migi and Dali press to a translucent piece of glass, implying a reflection. Dali glances at the camera slightly, implying their subtle differences.
It really feels like we should have done this Minilog earlier, wasn't Higurashi the one with all the Twin antics? Anyways, this week we're discussing Migi and Dali, a genre defying farce that settles on being a suspenseful mystery.
Oh, so that's why we're covering it now.

Image of the cover of Umineko When They Cry - Turn of the Golden Witch Manga Adaptation, Volume 1. The Golden Witch Beatrice as portrayed by Jiro Suzuki, beckoning the reader.
Part of the Umineko When They Cry Anime Box Set Volume 1, with extra materials assembled by Nippon Ichi Software America's stint publishing anime in the early 2010s.
Welcome back, humans. I must say, that was a poor showing. Just a little proposal of magic and you crumble. Honestly, you should be grateful I still allow this "God cast" to go on. Ah, well, such is the price of fighting boredom. Feel free to keep struggling. #backlogdialogues #umineko #whentheycry

Another bottle. The message inside reads:
You cannot surrender to the witch. There is no peace there, only horror. The witch is insatiable, and will never be satisfied. Resist. Fight back. Don't give up, even as the pain compounds. Please. It's our only hope.

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Turn of the Golden Witch, Manga Adaptation. Coloration by Reddit User amatthews. Beatrice the Golden Witch, upon using a blistering barrage of Red Truth to dismantle every one of Battler's theories, follows with a Red Truth claiming that Battler is incompetent.
The witch has offered you a glimpse into the magic world, and challenges you to see if you can refute it. New impossibilities crop up, demanding you explain them. But as long as you have the skill, the wits, and the new tool given to you, you should do ok, yes? #backlogdialogues #umineko

Once more, murders have broken out on the Island and the game is officially afoot. But we know how this works. There cannot be anything paranormal here, just acts of humans, like Halloween themed murder and... laser swords... and goat monsters?
Wait, what?

Image from Umineko When They Cry - Turn of the Golden Witch. A second Portrait of Beatrice inexplicably appears, the form altered to match that of the Beatrice that appears on the board.
It's time for the game to begin once more. The witch has returned, and has changed her opening move entirely. Are you ready to contend with her both in the game, and in the tale itself?
