>raising the son of your brother who raped you to get at him
>the reason George is pathetic isn't because of Hideoyoshi's shit genes, but because of Krauss' shit genes
>it's the reason why Jessica and George are both shit at everything and end up falling in love with a goddamn maid
The plot keeps thickening.

It also fits narratively. Krauss couldn't get a girlfriend either, Kinzo provided him with a wife. Just like Eva had to provide George with a wife!

I also want to know. I honestly have no clue. Did he have relationships, was he ever in love, etc?
I just don't know.

I've been reading his interviews and I'm not even sure I believe him anymore. In one interview, someone asked him about his method of writing stories, and Ryukishi just says it's like seeing characters like pieces you push a certain way to see how they'll react and it's how he wrote Higurashi overall. But then you reread certain parts of Higurashi, like the USODA scene, and you can tell it was absolutely deliberately written to the very moment of the execution. He puts a lot more thought into his writing than he lets on in his interviews and it's really confusing me.

Or how he says that he cries while writing certain scenes, so that he gets the full emotional impact as the reader. In one way, I can actually believe that, but in another, I think it's complete bullshit. Ryukishi once stated that his personality was similar to K1 (I personally see the schoolboy aspect and the hardworking literate side) and Beatrice (the giggling portion is like K1 but also the sadistic side of Beatrice is very present in his writing). Whenever he writes bullying scenes or sadistic moments, I only see a Beatrice side to Ryukishi but then he wants to also get the most optimistic endings like for Higurashi or that demon story for Higanbana Second Night.

So which one is he? Is he a sadistic bastard or is he the naive optimistic fuck? I just can't place him in a box and it's frustrating me. Most writers, I can easily get a feel for their personality, what they think, trying to emote and what sort of person they are. But with Ryukishi, I just get pure duality.
