Anon, I genuinely, honest to God want to be wrong so bad. I have never wanted to be more wrong in my life. Me being wrong and learning that Mion really did kill everyone would instantly redeem Gou/Sotsu in my eyes because it would fix the biggest issue I had with the original Higurashi: Mion herself. Just knowing that this otherwise perfect boring cunt that seemingly came from a SOL series can actually be a human being with actual flaws and make really bad judgments on others like every other character (even if it was done artificially thanks to H173) would instantly boost her to being one of my favourite Higurashi characters, because it would change my perspective on everything she's done, it's that big of a deal. It would instantly calm down my brain by realizing that, yes, this girl that's constantly being an innocent victim can actually be just like everyone else and doesn't have to stick out like a sore thumb anymore. It's not that you have to go on a murderous rampage to be a flawed or interesting character (see: Ooishi, Rika, and lots of Umineko examples) but, in Mion's case, it really only seems possible to make her do anything wrong by injecting her with the crazy juice.

On the other hand, if I'm right and Mion really does end up being SO FUCKING PERFECT that she can resist h173 and doesn't do anything wrong, that would only accentuate my issue with her tenfold.

Jessica is basically a Mion that doesn't piss me off at all, because she's a hotheaded, extremely emotional dumbass who can make wrong judgments at times and screams that she wants to murder her lover's killer, instead of the paragon of innocence and virtue that Mion radiates.
