Looking back at this, knowing what you find out in Chiru, is a trip. Rokkenjima and Beatrice showed in sepia and blurred secondhand paintings. The wine-dark sea. That bit of wordplay taking "there's no guarantee that it's even possible to 'solve' this tragedy like a mystery" and linking it to "starving to death". And Battler, in a different outfit without the Eagle on it, trying to make sense of it all. Even Ep8 was being foreshadowed, even this early. What the heck.
It's the magic of Ryukishi07, all those tips of what the real story is all sprinkled around which you can't always understand up until the end. This opening is rather interesting as IIRC it was never used in game, it is just a bonus. It is just the more fascinating to me now you're mentioning the allusion of the trip! Thanks so much for sharing this comment here!!
