More on this topic, has there been any theory regarding Rika's/Bernkastel's and Satoko's/Lambdadelta's appearance in Ciconia? Takano is already there as Vier, so we can rule her out as "Lambdadelta". I've been wondering and theorizing if Koshka and Lilja are Bernkastel and Lambdadelta, or in other words, Rika and Satoko.

In the "extra material" you unlock after reading the main story, it was stated that Koshka was bored and unmotivated to participate in any activity until Lilja showed up. Didn't Bernkastel state in Umineko how she was bored until she was reunited with Lambdadelta? Also in Ciconia, Lilja acts like a cat, because that's the way to amuse Koshka and keep her co-operating with Lilja. It's as if they already had some history together and Lilja meowing to Koshka is to settle some things and come terms with each other. It might have something to do with how Lilja and Koshka often squabble with each other. For example, Lilja is very boisterous how she is a fine lady while Koshka is some country bumpkin. Like how Satoko claimed to be a fine lady in Higurashi? Would the reason for Lilja "nipah'ing" be that she remembered Rika/Koshka saying same things when they were in Hinamizawa? Considering how Bernkastel remembered Satoko's/Lambdadelta's cake puzzle from the club activities.

The most interesting piece in Ciconia is how both Lilja and Koshka wish for "this" world to end, as if there's new worlds to go after this one's over. Though a lot of characters feel the same way and wish for the A3W world to end, so it doesn't really prove anything, yet. Koshka and Lilja are "equipment" and can have their brain/soul separated from their current body. Koshka said in the Phase 2 preview (from the end of Phase 1) that she could finally get a new body, as in looping to a new world and new body? Another aspect about looping I noticed in Ryukishi's works is how Satoko takes a name resembling Takano when looping to a new body (in Umineko Lambdadelta, in RGD Miyo "Meryl" Tanashi). Probably because it reminds similarly looping Rika the awful memories about Takano. Since this time Takano is already around, Satoko took a another name that's still terrifying towards Rika, or rather, Koshka.

"Koshka" translates directly to "a cat", while "Lilja" means "lily". Their co-operation is contradicting, because in real life lilies are poisonous for cats. It's interesting that despite how poisonous the duo is to each other, they can't live without each other (or else they'd be unmotivated to do anything). Maybe it's the boredom that makes them seek out for new challenges and dangers, eventually fighting each other (in RGD, Meryl and Stella promised to settle all things in a gun fight). This was just a small theory that came in my mind, since Rika/Bernkastel and Satoko/Lambdadelta had to be somewhere in Ciconia, even if they weren't straight-up told to be there. I wish Ryukishi to finally release Ciconia Phase 2 so we could continue the story

Higurashi:
Takano wakes up as a loli one day and tries to gather intel on Rika by attending the Hinamizawa branch school. Everything changes when her feelings about the meeper begin to change.

Umineko:
It has been years since she dropped out of St. Lucia and gave away her family's assets. Ace Detective Ange Ushiromiya solves many mysterious cases around Japan. Some seem impossible to humans to do, she intends to prove the opposite.

Ciconia:
During a field exercise , Chloe, Lilja and Koshka come across a strange glowing fragment near the glass sea, and upon touching it, the three of them fall unconscious.
Waking up in a strange, yet familiar place, how will these three girls escape the world of Wanyadora?

kitties!
